The problem

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The right front brake hose is incorrectly routed behind the brake pipe bracket restricting brake hose movement that could cause the hose to either be cut by the bracket or separated at the caliper.

The fix

Dealers will replace and correctly route the right front brake hose assembly.
