Defect description

ON SOME VEHICLES, THE SEALING SURFACES FOR A HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSE ON A FRONT BRAKE CALIPER WERE COVERED BY PAINT RESIDUE. BRAKE FLUID GRADUALLY DISSOLVES THE PAINT, OPENING A SMALL PATH BETWEEN THE SEALING SURFACE AND THE GASKET ALLOWING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED.

Safety risk

THIS CAN RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Manufacturer remedy

DEALERS WILL REMOVE PAINT FROM THE BRAKE CALIPER, REPLACE COPPER GASKETS AND BLEED THE FRONT BRAKES.
