Recall 1984124

The issue

VEHICLES MAY HAVE INADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE TUBES AND A BRACKET MOUNTED TO THE ENGINE. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE BRACKET COULD CONTACT THE METAL BRAKE TUBE AND RESULT IN ABRASION OF THE TUBE WHICH COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND A PARTIAL BRAKE LOSS. THIS WOULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES.

Description (français)

Sur ces véhicules, la tuyauterie du frein avant droit peut se trouver trop près d'un support monté sur le moteur. Dans certaines conditions, ce support peut frotter contre le tuyau métallique et l'user, entraînant ainsi une fuite de liquide, une perte partielle du pouvoir de freinage et, par conséquent, des distances d'arrêt plus longues.
