Recall 2018087

The issue

On certain vehicles, incorrect front brake hoses may have been installed and could cause the hoses to contact adjacent components while the vehicle is being driven. This could result in premature wear to the hoses and potentially lead to a brake fluid leak, which could increase stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front right hand and left hand brake hoses to determine whether they are from the suspect population, and replace as necessary.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, des tuyaux de frein avant incorrects pourraient avoir été posés et pourraient faire en sorte que les tuyaux touchent à des pièces adjacentes pendant que le véhicule roule. Cela pourrait causer une usure prématurée aux tuyaux et pourrait mener à une fuite de liquide de frein, ce qui pourrait augmenter les distances de freinage et le risque d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les tuyaux de frein de gauche et de droite avant pour déterminer s'ils font partie des tuyaux visés, et les remplacer au besoin.
