Defect
Insufficient clearance between the rear wheel brake hose and the engine crankcase allows the brake hose to contact the crankcase due to vibration during vehicle operation. This contact may damage the hose, causing brake fluid to leak and, in the worst case, resulting in loss of rear wheel braking effectiveness.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reroute the rear wheel brake hose to correct its routing. If the hose is damaged, replace it with a new part.
