VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCKS AND 4-DOOR UTILITY VEHICLES. THE REAR BRAKE LINE CAN CONTACT THE LEFT FRONT FENDER WHEEL HOUSE INNER PANEL JUST ABOVE THE CHASSIS FRAME. A HOLE COULD BE WORN IN THE BRAKE LINE ALLOWING A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: REAR BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS COULD BE REDUCED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL RELOCATE THE BRAKE LINE POSITIONING CLIP, INSPECT THE BRAKE LINE FOR WEAR, AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE BRAKE LINE.
