Cliff, hose from I Manifold to brake booster s/b subject to recall.
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/CBBBH.JPG"></center><p>Couldn't wait any longer. OEM plastic line split @ booster and both sides of check valve. Lost all vacuum on Sunday and damn near could not stop car with rock hard pedal. This thing is dangerous. 15/32" brake booster line 2'3" long and one clamp @ I manifold since barbed fittings on booster and check valve are holding fine until clamps from Aircraft Spruce arrive.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/cbsigx.jpg" borders="0">

between 6-8 stress fractures on mine at brake booster/check valve (both sides).
All where they push on to the barbed nipples. Check valve hose is showing splitting on inlet/out sides. None of them thru the hose yet but well on their way. Looks like 2.5' of .500" gas line for me on the way home tonight as an interim fix too.
Boy, this could be a DANGEROUS item for the unsuspecting! Definately "recallable" in a HUGE way.

Better check t/b sure. Latest 225s have revised hose...
If you have the shinney black plactic hose, then IMHO change it, ASAP.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/cbsigx.jpg" borders="0">
