Bosch Hydro-Boost Brake Accumulator Crack Recall
1Fault
- The hydraulic brake booster's pressure accumulator may crack and/or separate from the Hydro-Boost assembly in normal operation; if it separates with the hood open, fragments could injure people nearby.
- The crack or fractured surface could let hydraulic fluid leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster, and the loss of fluid would increase steering and braking effort.
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- The over-pressurization comes from a two-function valve (TFV) that does not open within its specified limits while the hydraulic fluid in the accumulator circuit expands as the booster is exposed to rising under-hood temperatures.
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- With the engine OFF, make at least five (5) high effort brake applies until the pedal feels hard.
- Turn the steering wheel to the steering lock (fully turned) position, hold for 1 to 2 seconds, then release; do this a total of 3 times.
- Install the inlet port adapter, CH 47950-2, into the booster supply port and slowly tighten it with a torque wrench to 16 N·m (12 lb ft).
- Install the accumulator pressure clamp, CH 47950-1, by sliding it over the accumulator so that it straddles the hydro-boost housing.
- If fluid comes out of the inlet port adapter at up to 65 N·m (48 lb ft) maximum torque on the clamp bolt, the hydro-boost booster assembly is OK.
3Correction
Repair
- If no fluid is seen, complete Steps 19-27 and repeat Steps 1-18; if no fluid is visible in the second evaluation, replace the hydro-boost unit.
- After the test, reinstall the supply hose/tube to the booster and tighten to 28 N·m (21 lb ft).
- When the booster is replaced, install the 4 booster to bulkhead nuts and tighten them to 36 N·m (26 lb ft).
Caution
- The inspection uses the Hydro-Boost Checking Tool, CH 47950, shipped to each dealer.
- After starting the engine, do not depress the brake pedal until instructed.
- Incorrect installation of the fixture washer will damage the accumulator end.

Hydraulic Pump Driveshaft Fracture Recall
1Fault
- The driveshaft in the power steering hydraulic pump can fracture, which results in loss of hydraulic power assist for steering.
- On vehicles with Hydro-Boost power brakes the same condition can also remove power assist for braking; an inoperative pump raises steering effort, and braking effort on Hydro-Boost vehicles, but the vehicle can still be steered and slowed.
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- The pump supplier, Delphi-Saginaw Plant 3, had salvaged 45,000 rejected pump rotors by manually regrinding them from oversize dimensions to a thickness within tolerance.
3Correction
Repair
- Dealers are to replace the power steering hydraulic pump.
- On EVO equipped pumps, lubricate the new o-ring seal taken from the replacement pump fitting with clean power steering fluid and install it in the correct groove in the EVO actuator.
- Tighten the EVO actuator assembly to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).

Brake Hydro-Boost Housing Relief Valve Bore Recall
1Fault
- The relief valve bore in the brake hydro-boost module may be out of specification, which could fracture the relief valve o-ring seal inside the module.
- If the seal fractures, the driver may hear during braking an engine compartment noise like the one made when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop, and may feel slightly higher steering effort while braking and parking.
- Under certain driving conditions a fractured seal may require slightly more brake pedal effort for the same deceleration, which could result in a crash without prior warning.
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- Inspection found a machining error in the relief bore cavity of modules produced on one of the automated boring machines used for the base housing.
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- Look at the color of the relief valve: if it is metallic yellow or looks like brass, no further action is required.
- If a yellow, pink or white paint mark is visible, no further inspection or repair is required, and any stamped number is to be disregarded.
- With no paint marks and a stamped number 2, 3 or 4 visible, no further inspection or repair is required.
- If a stamped number 1 is visible on the machined surface, the relief valve must be replaced.
3Correction
Repair
- With the ignition OFF, pump the brake pedal at least ten times.
- Unscrew the original relief valve from the hydraulic brake booster with the tool supplied with the new relief valve.
- Insert the new relief valve into the bore and tighten it to 17 N·m (13 lb ft).
- With the master cylinder mounted flush to the booster, install the nuts and tighten them to 33 N·m (24 lb ft).
Parts
- Part number 10398682, VALVE KIT, P/B BOOS CONT, quantity 1 per vehicle if required.
