Defect
In the brake system, the routing of the left front wheel brake pipe is incorrect on some vehicles, causing it to contact the upper arm of the independent suspension. Continued use damages the brake pipe. In the worst case, brake fluid may leak, reducing braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the condition of the brake pipe. On vehicles where contact has not yet occurred, reposition the brake pipe to maintain proper clearance from the upper arm, and add mounting brackets, securing brackets, and clips. On vehicles where contact has already occurred, repair the affected area, reposition the pipe to the correct routing, and add mounting brackets, securing brackets, and clips.
