Defect
The rear suspension assembly process for front-wheel-drive vehicles is improper, causing the left rear brake hose to sustain damage during assembly on some units. Continued use allows brake fluid to leak from the damaged area and, in the worst case, reduces braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the brake hose and replace any damaged hose with a non-defective part.
