Details
What's wrong: The right front brake line to the hydraulic control unit (hcu) connection could separate causing the line to leak when the brake pedal is applied.
Why it matters: This could result in a loss of brake pressure to the front wheels, increasing the stopping distance.
The fix: Dealers will replace the flare nut on the brake line.
