What NHTSA recorded

The routing of the throttle kickdown cable could allow chafing to occur between the cable and any one of three steel brake fluid lines near the valve block of the hydraulic brake unit.

Possible consequence

This could cause brake fluid leakage; thus, the brakecircuit supplied by that line would become inoperative and result in decreasedbraking effectiveness and an accident.

Remedy

Change cable routing and install new attachment bracket to prevent chafing.
