Details

What's wrong: The brake lines can contact the transmission mounting bracket of the frame side rail. The lines can wear through resulting in loss of brake fluid, and eventual loss of half the vehicle braking system.

Why it matters: A leak in the hydraulic brake line will cause a loss of one half the vehicle braking system and extended braking distances which can result in an accident.

The fix: Dealers will inspect for proper brake line clearance and reposition the brake lines. Brake lines found to have indentations will be replaced.
