After the car was serviced for the power brake vacuum recall, the "new" vacuum hose fell off within 3 miles. The engine reved to 2000 rpm and the brakes were almost inoperative. After stopping the car I opened the hood and saw hose completly off on the engine side. I replaced the hose and continued on. I informed the dealer of the problem and of my repair they said they would talk with the mechanic.
