What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The front brake lines can develop pin holes due to chaffing against the edge of the pass-through hole in the inner fender.

Possible consequence

Brake fluid can leak resulting in deteriorated braking performance and illumination of the brake indicator lamp.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the front brake lines for signs of wear and routing. If the lines are not correctly centered in the pass-through hole, the lines will be repositioned by bending slightly to correct. If there is evidence of brake line wear, the brake line will be replaced.
