Defect
The structure retaining the front brake hose to the outer tube of the shock absorber is improperly designed, allowing the brake hose to detach. Continued use may damage the hose and, in the worst case, cause brake fluid to leak and reduce braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the brake hose and add a clip (corrected part) at the retention point. Any brake hose found to be damaged must be replaced.
