The issue
ON VEHICLES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) THE THROTTLE/KICK-DOWN CABLE AND GEAR SELECTOR WIRE MAY COME LOOSE AND RUB AGAINST ANY OF THE THREE STEEL BRAKE LINES CONNECTED TO THE VALVE BLOCK OF THE ABS SYSTEM HYDRAULIC BRAKE UNIT. CHAFING DAMAGE COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING FORCE WITH A SUBSEQUENT INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. CORRECTION: ROUTING OF THE THROTTLE/KICK-DOWN CABLE WILL BE CHANGED AND A NEW ATTACHMENT BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED. BRAKE LINES AND VALVE BLOCK WILL BE INSPECTED FOR CHAFING AND CHAFED BRAKE LINES WILL BE REPLACED.
Description (français)
Il se peut que le câble d'accélérateur et le câble du sélecteur de vitesse se desserrent et frottent contre les trois tuyaux en acier du circuit de freinage qui sont reliés aux soupapes du circuit de freinage hydraulique ABS. L'endommagement par frottement pourrait causer une fuite de fluide hydraulique, une réduction de la force de freinage et, par la suite, une augmentation de la distance d'arrêt.
