Defect
The bracket that retains the front brake hose to the outer tube of the shock absorber was installed at an incorrect angle, causing some brake hoses to be twisted. Continued use in this condition may cause the brake hose to crack. In the worst case, brake fluid will leak and braking force will decrease.
