The issue
THE INTERIOR SURFACE OF THE THREADED HOLE FOR THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER BRAKE HOSES MAY CONTAIN POROUS SPOTS WHICH WOULD ALLOW BRAKE FLUID TO SEEP OUT OF THE CALIPERS DURING HEAVY BRAKE APPLICATIONS. PROLONGED SEEPAGE WILL EVENTUALLY REEDUCE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN THE RESERVOIR AND MAY LEAD TO COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE.
Description (français)
La surface intérieure du trou fileté auquel s'adaptent les flexibles de l'étrier du frein avant peut comporter des points poreux qui laissent suinter Ie liquide de frein par les étriers lors de freinages vigoureux. Ce suintement prolongé finit par abaisser le niveau du liquide de frein dans le réservoir et peut entraîner une panne totale du circuit de freinage.
