The issue
On certain vehicles, due to the design of the fuel tank protector, the center and rear brake lines may become perforated due to corrosion. This would cause a leak in the brake system potentially increasing stopping distances, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect vehicles and either apply an anti-corrosion coating to the lines, or replace them as necessary. Note: This recall is superseded by recall 2014223.
Description (français)
Sur certain véhicules, à cause de la conception du protecteur de réservoir de carburant, les conduites de frein arrière et du centre peuvent se perforer par la corrosion. Il pourrait alors y avoir une fuite dans le circuit de freinage qui pourrait entraîner une augmentation des distances de freinage et augmenter les risques d'accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les véhicules et appliquer un produit anticorrosion sur les conduites ou remplacer ces dernières au besoin. Remarque : Le présent rappel est remplacé par le rappel 2014223.
