Recall 85V109000: Rear Brake Line Damage

The clearance between the brake line at the rear axle and fuel tank retaining band is not wide enough and allows the line to contact the band during severe operating conditions. Continued contact may cause the damaged brake line to restrict the flow of brake fluid, or rupture, resulting in loss of brake fluid.

Consequence of Defect: Loss of brake fluid or restriction of brake fluid flow results in loss of braking ability of rear wheel which could cause an accident.

Replace brake line and reroute to eliminate contact.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS.

SYSTEM: BRAKE LINE.
