Recall 84V123000: Brake Line Leaks

THE BRAKE LINE MAY BE POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TO AN ENGINE BRACKET. NORMAL ENGINE MOVEMENTS MAY CAUSE THE BRACKET TO RUB AGAINST THE BRAKE LINE.


THE BRAKE LINE WILL BE INSPECTED AND REROUTED IF NECESSARY.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION AND TURBO 1.6 LITER ENGINES.


SYSTEM: SERVICE BRAKES; BRAKE LINE.

CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: IF THE BRAKE LINE WEARS ENOUGH THAT BRAKE FLUID LEAKS FROM THE LINE, THE VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE MAY INCREASE. THE DETERIORATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE FROM A FLUID LEAK COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

NOTE: THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT SHOULD ALERT DRIVER TO FLUID LOSS. INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL OR SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL ACTION MAY ALSO OCCUR.
