The defect
A FLEXIBLE BRAKE HOSE THAT CONNECTS THE HYDRAULIC PUMP TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) VALVE BLOCK ASSEMBLY CAN LEAK CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID.
The risk
LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID CAN RESULT IN THE INOPERATION OF PRIMARY BRAKE CIRCUIT, INCLUDING THE REAR BRAKES, AND LOSS OF ABS OPERATION WITH A CONSEQUENT REDUCTION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND POSSIBLE INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCES. ALSO, BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COULD CAUSE A FIRE IF THERE IS A SOURCE OF IGNITION.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES TO DETERMINE IF IT IS FITTED WITH THE SUSPECT HOSE AND THEN REPLACE THE SUSPECT HOSE WITH THE LATEST DESIGN.
