Details
What's wrong: A condition in which the fuel-fired heater fill pipe ground strap contacts the rear passenger side brake pipe.
Why it matters: This could wear off the corrosion protection on the brake pipe, leading to premature corrosion and eventual loss of brake pipe integrity. When brake pipe integrity is lost, brake fluid leakage can occur.
The fix: Dealers will relocate the ground strap attachment, inspect the brake pipe for wear, and replace the brake pipe if necessary.
