POSSIBILITY THAT REAR WHEEL BRAKE HOSE, IF NOT PROPERLY POSITIONED, COULD RUB ON REAR WHEEL SIREN ROTOR OR FIND ITS WAY BETWEEN REAR SAFETY GUARD AND WHEELFORK AND BE SEVERED CAUSING SUDDEN REAR BRAKE FAILURE.(CORRECT BY INSTALLING GUIDE CLIP TO HOLD HOSE IN CORRECT POSITION.)
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
