The hazard
On certain vehicles, the brake booster vacuum hose port in the base of the carburetor could become blocked with frozen moisture after an extended period of highway driving at low ambient temperatures. This may result in intermittant loss of brake power assist on a second application of the brake pedal. Correction: the brake booster vacuum hose will be relocated to the intake manifold.
