DUE TO THE IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSES, THE HOSE COULD RUB AGAINST THE RIM IN CERTAIN WHEEL POSITIONS. BRAKE FLUID LOSS COULD RESULT, CAUSING A DEGRADATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS WOULD CAUSE AN INCREASE IN VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCES.

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.
