The issue
THE REAR BRAKE HOSES WERE NOT FULLY SEATED INTO THEIR FITTINGS WHEN THE FITTINGS WERE CRIMPED ONTO THE HOSE AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE. HOSE FAILURE WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING ACTION THEREBY INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE.
Description (français)
Les tuyaux flexibles des frein arrière n'ont pas été logés complètement dans leurs raccords d'extrémité lorsqu'on a ondulé des derniers sur ces tuyaux au moment de la construction. La défaillance de ces tuyaux causerait la perte de liquide pour frein et un manque partiel de freinage, ce qui augmenterait la distance d'arrêt.
