NHTSA recall 98V072000
Visibility · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The windshield wiper linkage arm can contact a brake line which is connected to the traction control system modulator valve. This contact can chafe the brake line resulting in a brake fluid leak.
Why it matters: Brake fluid leakage can cause reduced brake effectiveness and increased stopping distances.
The fix: Dealers will install a brake line clip to ensure proper clearance. Also the brake lines will be inspected to any damage caused by this condition and will replace any damaged lines.
