Details

What's wrong: Some vehicles may have insufficient clearance between the steering intermediate shaft and rear brake tubes.

Why it matters: Prolonged brake tube contact could wear a hole in the tube and cause a partial brake system loss. This could cause a crash without warning.

The fix: Dealers will install a revised brake tube clip to retain the tubes, inspect the brake tubes for damage due to potential contact with the steering intermediate shaft, and replace the brake tubes if necessary. The recall began on June 30, 2008.
