The issue
On certain vehicles, the rear brake tube may contact an underbody crossmember during normal vehicle operation and eventually wear a hole in the tube. If the tube becomes perforated, a reduction in braking will occur at the rear wheels, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and a rubber isolator will be installed on the brake tube. Those vehicles exhibiting contact that have more than 75,000km will have the brake tube replaced with the production tube and isolator.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, la canalisation de freinage arrière peut entrer en contact avec la traverse du soubassement en marche normale et se perforer éventuellement. Si c’est le cas, il peut y avoir une diminution de la puissance de freinage à l’arrière et, conséquemment, augmentation de la distance de freinage et accroissement des risques d’accidents. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront installer une gaine de caoutchouc sur la canalisation de freinage. De plus, ils installeront une canalisation neuve et une gaine sur les véhicules ayant plus de 75 000 km s’il semble y avoir eu contact.
