What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Brake and clutch fluid reservoir hoses may not be resistant to brake fluid, which could cause failure of the hoses.
The risk
Should a hose failure occur, the brake failure light would light up, followed by loss of vehicle braking efficiency.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the hoses and, if required, install new hoses that are resistant to brake fluid.
