Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, there is the potential for insufficient clearance between a brake pipe and an engine mounted hose clip, which could eventually result in failure of the brake pipe.

Why it matters: This failure could result in an increased stopping distance when braking increasing the risk of a crash and also a risk of fire due to brake fluid escaping into the engine compartment.

The fix: Dealers will inspect to ascertain the clearance between the brake pipe and hose clip and repair as necessary free of charge. The recall began on September 5, 2006.
