Stratus L4-2.4L VIN X (1998)
Brake Hose/Line: Recalls
Recall 99V244000: Rear Brake Tube Leakage
The right rear brake tube can contact the exhaust system clamp and wear a hole in it.
If this happens, the tube could leak, reducing the effectiveness of one-half of the diagonally split braking system, and resulting in longer stopping
distances.
Dealers will inspect the brake tubes for visible evidence of contact with the exhaust system clamp. If the tube shows evidence of contact, it will be
replaced. If no evidence of contact exists, the tube will be fastened with a clip.
