SEAT recalled Ibiza vehicles built between 22 August 2019 and 3 February 2020. Engine oil reaches the brake servo through the vacuum hose from the tandem pump to the brake servo. The recall notice describes the fix as: the vacuum line from the tandem pump is replaced. It must also be checked whether other components have come into contact with oil and therefore need to be replaced too. You won't usually pay for it.1
