What is being recalled
THE RIGHT REAR METAL BRAKE LINE COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE TOP OF THE RIGHT REAR SHOCK ABSORBER. THIS COULD LEAD TO AN EVENTUAL FLUID LEAK IN ONE OF THE TWO BRAKE CIRCUITS.
Why it is dangerous
THE LEAK OF FLUID FROM THE REAR METAL BRAKE LINE COULDCAUSE REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS AND INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCE.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
REROUTE REAR METAL BRAKE LINES TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER, AND REPLACE BRAKE LINES THAT HAVE CONTACTED THE SHOCK ABSORBERS.
