Recall 99V123000: Right Front Brake Line Separation

The right front brake line to the hydraulic control unit (HCU) connection could separate causing the line to leak when the brake pedal is applied.

This could result in a loss of brake pressure to the front wheels, increasing the stopping distance.

Dealers will replace the flare nut on the brake line.
