Recall 1985089

The issue

On certain vehicles, the front brake hoses in VW vehicles and rear brake hoses in the Audi 5000 turbo, manufactured by F.A.G., may become brittle under winter conditions. Subsequent cracks may eventually lead to a loss of brake fluid resulting in increased stopping distance during a sudden brake application.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les boyaux des freins avant des véhicules Volkswagen et les boyaux des freins arrière des Audi 5000 Turbo fabriqués par F.A.G. deviennent fragiles pendant l'hiver. Ils risquent alors de se fissurer et de comencer à fuir; dans ce cas, la distance de freinage sera sensiblement accrue.
