What NHTSA recorded
The front brake line and brake hose assembly may have been improperly routed. The brake hose could then rub against the wheel at certain wheel positions during vehicle operation. This will result in brake hose wear and brake fluid loss.
Remedy
Dealer will inspect and if necessary, reroute the brake hose to preclude contact with the wheel.
