What's wrong: These vehicles do not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 106, "brake hoses." These vehicles are equipped with noncompliant brake vacuum hoses.
Why it matters: These hoses could burst causing fluid leakage, increasing the braking capability of the vehicle and could result in a crash.
