Defect
In the brake system, some brake pipes routed between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control actuator were deformed during assembly. Continued use allows engine vibration to cause these brake pipes to contact the power steering hydraulic pipe, damaging both lines. In the worst case, brake fluid leaks and braking force is reduced.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles. Improperly assembled brake pipes must be corrected; damaged pipes must be replaced with conforming parts.
