What NHTSA recorded
On certain vehicles, porous spots may have developed on the interior surface of the threaded hole for the brake hose during the moulding process. These spots allow brake fluid to seep from the calipers during heavy brake applications.
Remedy
Both front brake calipers will be inspected for brake fluid seepage and will be replaced, if necessary, without charge.
