## What is wrong

On certain Passat and Passat wagon, a vacuum line may fracture and become disconnected at low ambient temperatures.  If this happens,  brake power assist could become inoperative.  As a result, the driver would experience increased effort to apply the brakes and therefore possible increased vehicle stopping distance.  This could lead to a crash without warning.  Correction: Dealers will install a re\-designed vacuum line.
