What NHTSA recorded
The involved vehicles were assembled with the left front brake tube retaining clip missing. The absence of a retaining clip may allow the brake tube to rub against the shock absorber, causing wear on the tube and, eventually, loss of brake fluid.
Remedy
Missing brake tube clips will be installed and any chafed brake tubes will be replaced.
