Summary
A PLASTIC TUBE COVERING PART OF THE METAL BRAKE LINE FOR THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM MAY ALLOW WATER TO ACCUMULATE. THIS WATER WILL OXIDIZE THE BRAKE LINE. OXIDATION CAN CAUSE DETERIORATION OR POSSIBLE BREAKAGE OF THE BRAKE LINE. THIS CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF EFFICIENCY OF THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM AND CAN IMPAIR THE TOTAL BRAKING CAPACITY OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy
THE DEFECTIVE PORTION OF THE METAL BRAKE LINE WILL BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
