Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles may have insufficient clearance between the front brake pipe and the engine oil pan. This condition could cause the brake pipe to contact the left hand front edge of the oil pan, resulting in wear and, eventually, damage to the brake pipe. This could lead to a loss of brake fluid and subsequent loss of brakes.

Remedy

Dealer will replace the brake pipe, if necessary, free of charge.
