Recall 1987068

The issue

ON VEHICLES WITH FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND AUTOMATIC LOCKING FRONT HUBS, THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE, BETWEEN THE BODY BRAKE TUBING AND THE FRONT AXLE CONNECTOR, MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED (TWISTED) DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. IF TWISTED, THE HOSE CAN BE LOOPED UPON ITSELF IN A MANNER THAT MAY ALLOW ABRASIVE CONTACT DURING NORMAL SUSPENSION TRAVEL. THIS COULD RESULT IN EVENTUAL HOSE FAILURE AND PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND BRAKE LINES REROUTED IF NECESSARY.

Description (français)

Sur les véhicules à quatre roues motrices dotés de verrous de moyeu à l'avant, le flexible situé entre la conduite rigide de freinage et le raccord de l'essieu avant peut être tordu; le flexible risque alors de se boucler, de frotter contre la suspension et de se mettre à fuir. La défectuosité peut produire une perte d'efficacité partielle du circuit de freinage.
