Sebring Sedan V6-3.5L (2009)
Brake Hose/Line: Service and Repair
INSPECTION
Brake tubing should be inspected periodically for evidence of physical damage or contact with moving or hot components.
Flexible rubber hose is used at both the front and rear wheel brakes. Inspection of the flexible brake hoses should be performed whenever the brake
system is serviced and every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Inspect hydraulic brake hoses for surface cracking, scuffing,
or worn spots. If the fabric casing of the hose becomes exposed due to cracks or abrasions in the hose cover, the hose should be replaced immediately.
Eventual deterioration of the hose can take place with possible burst failure. Faulty installation can cause twisting, resulting in wheel, tire, or chassis
interference.
NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with more than one size (diameter) brake tube depending on location on the vehicle. If a brake tube must be
replaced, always use the same size brake tubing as that being replaced. Never use under-size brake tubing.
