Date: 080601
Recall - Rear Brake Tube Clearance
June 2008
Dealer Service Instructions for:
Safety Recall H17
Rear Brake Tube Clearance
Models
2007-2008 (JK) Jeep(R) Wrangler (Right Hand Drive)
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles with right hand drive (sales code 5I9) built through March 5, 2008 (MDH 030512).
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles
before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in
for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
About 1,700 of the above vehicles may have insufficient clearance between the steering intermediate shaft and the rear brake tubes. Prolonged brake tube
contact could wear a hole in the tube and cause a partial brake system loss. This could cause a crash without warning.
Repair
The rear brake tubes must be inspected for damage and replaced if necessary. In addition, all vehicles must have a brake tube retaining clip installed.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that brake tube(s)
replacement is required and the vehicle must be held overnight.
