Details
What's wrong: The rear brake line can contact the left front fender wheel house inner panel just above the chassis frame. A hole could be worn in the brake line allowing a loss of brake fluid.
Why it matters: Rear brake effectiveness could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will relocate the brake line positioning clip, inspect the brake line for wear, and if necessary, replace the brake line.
