## What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a diesel engine and hydroboost brake system \(which utilizes the power steering system pressure for brake assist\), the power steering reservoir cap may have excessive vent pressure levels, which could result in a brake pedal that is slow to return once depressed.  This could increase brake light illumination times and cause confusion to a following road user which, in conjunction with traffic, road conditions and driver's reactions, may result in a crash.  Correction: Dealers will replace the power steering reservoir cap.
