News | Dodge recalls vacuum tubes ?*no, not that kind

allpar said:
130,000 2013-14 Dodge Darts sold worldwide to inspect and possibly replace vacuum hoses (“vacuum tubes” in their words) on cars with 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines. The 1.4-powered cars are not affected.

The vacuum hose routing may have been incorrect, resulting in oil migration that could cause hard pedal feel and longer stopping in emergencies; oil can degrade the brake booster diaphragm over time.

A tell-tale may be a popping noise, a hissing sound, or hard brake pedal feel. Any customers experiencing this should contact their dealer immediately. The service is done at no cost.

There have been seven accidents resulting in two minor injuries that might be related to this problem. If oil is found in the vacuum hose, dealers will replace the pump, brake booster, and master cylinder. Owners can call 1-800-853-1403 for information.

Hi Suzq044,

I checked the system for any recalls on the 2013 - 2014 Dodge Darts with the 2.0 or 2.4 Engines and could not find any recalls relating to vacuum hoses. Do you have a recall number that I can check on?

Thanks,

Kathleen
