Defect
During manufacturing, the front brake hose and front brake hose No.2 were assembled using hoses longer than the specified design. When the steering is turned, the front brake hose contacts the front box and abrades against it. Continued use allows the hose to wear through, which may cause brake fluid to leak and reduce front wheel braking force.
Corrective action
Inspect the front brake hose and front brake hose No.2 on all vehicles. On any vehicle where an out-of-specification hose is installed, replace both hoses with correct production parts.
