Details

What's wrong: The front brake line hose can kink during front brake action.

Why it matters: This condition can impede the return brake fluid flow and prohibit the immediate release of the front brake caliper pistons increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and readjust the front brake line guide.
