What NHTSA recorded

There is a possibility that the battery set plate (mounting bracket) may physically contact the rear brake master cylinder remote reservoir hose. Prolonged usage could result in hose wear and brake fluid leakage.

Remedy

The dealer will install a rubber buffer on the battery set plate to eliminate the possibility of hose wear.
