Details

What's wrong: If the brake hose repeatedly contacts the tire or wheel rim, a hole could be worn in the brake hose.

Why it matters: A damaged brake hose may reduce the effectiveness of the rear brakes and increase the distance required to stop the vehicle. An increased braking distance may increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will secure the right rear brake hose to ensure sufficient clearance. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on May 13, 2011.
