Brake Hose/Line: Testing and Inspection
Brake Hoses
Flexible rubber hose is used at both front and rear brakes. Inspection of brake hoses should be performed whenever the brake system is serviced and
every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first (every engine oil change). Inspect hydraulic brake hoses for severe surface cracking, scuffing,
worn spots or physical damage. If the fabric casing of the rubber hose becomes exposed due to cracks or abrasions in the rubber 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.
