Good find

Looks like a recall will be needed for UK cars.

That's been a knowing fault since the SAIS was developed / water ingress due to moisture build up within the servo valves & pipework . They stick causing the system to fail , however the secondary air pump still switches on causing it to heat up & usually burn itself out ..
