Summary:
Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. The front brake lines can develop pin holes due to chaffing against the edge of the pass-through hole in the
inner fender.
Brake fluid can leak resulting in deteriorated braking performance and illumination of the brake indicator lamp.
Dealers will inspect the front brake lines for signs of wear and routing. If the lines are not correctly centered in the pass-through hole, the lines will be
repositioned by bending slightly to correct. If there is evidence of brake line wear, the brake line will be replaced.
