What's wrong: Due to improper design of the rear brake tube distribution, if one of the dual brake lines fails when the driver applies the brake, the vehicle will feel unstable compared to vehicles with proper rear brake tube distribution.
Why it matters: This condition can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install modified brake tubes.
