What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some of these vehicles may have been built with an inadequate weld between the right front brake hose block and the stand-off bracket.
The risk
Separation of the stand-off bracket from the block could cause fatigue damage of the right front brake tube and result in a half system brake loss.
The fix
Dealers will add a brake line bracket to the right front brake tube.
