What is wrong
There is insufficient clearance between the right front brake caliper hydraulic line and the engine oil cooler line. If the lines come in contact with each other, the chafing may damage the brake line and cause a fluid leak.
The risk
Hydraulic fluid leak could result in a loss of brakes with the potential for an accident.
The fix
Add a protective shield to prevent contact and replace any damaged hydraulic pipe.
Notes from the manufacturer
System: hydraulic system pipe.vehicle description: passenger cars.
