Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the brake tubes for the rear brakes can contact the steering gearbox mounting brackets.
Why it matters: Contact between the rear brake tubes and the steering gearbox mounting brackets may result in rear brake tube wear and corrosion, increasing the risk of brake fluid leakage. Brake fluid leakage could result in reduced braking capability, which could result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will reposition the rear brake tubes, install brake tube clips, and apply anti-corrosion material to the rear brake tubes. Owner notification began January 22, 2004. Owners should contact Hyundai of puerto rico at 1-800-633-5151.
