Recall 1997056

The issue

On certain vehicles, if the front wheels are turned to full lock, the wheel could contact the brake hose and damage the hose. If the brake hose becomes damaged, loss of brake fluid in the front brake circuit may occur which could result in a partial brake system failure and increased stopping distances. Correction: A retaining bracket will be installed on the front brake hoses.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, lorsque les roues avant sont braquées à l’extrême, elles peuvent entrer en contact avec la conduite de frein et l’endommager. Si la conduite de frein est endommagée, il peut y avoir fuite de liquide au niveau du circuit de freinage avant, ce qui se traduira par une perte partielle de la puissance de freinage et une augmentation des distances de freinage.Correction : Un support de fixation devra être installé sur les conduites de frein avant.
