Recall 2010080

The issue

On certain vehicles, originally sold, or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador), the front brake hose fitting at the caliper may corrode. If the fitting corrodes significantly, the internal brake hose-tube interface may develop a leak or in some cases break, causing a sudden increase in braking distances which may lead to a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace both front brake hose assemblies.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, vendus ou immatriculés en Ontario, au Québec, au Nouveau-Brunswick, en Nouvelle-Écosse, à Terre-Neuve et à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, le raccord de tuyau de frein avant de l'étrier pourrait se corroder. Si le raccord se corrodait de façon significative, du liquide pourrait s'écouler au niveau de la surface de contact entre le tuyau de caoutchouc et le raccord métallique et, dans certains cas, le tuyau de caoutchouc pourrait se détacher; cela augmenterait les distances de freinage et pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vies. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les deux tuyaux de freinage avant.
