What is wrong
Rear brake tube routing is contacted by fuel tank heat shield when suspension is in full jounce position. This damages the brake fluid tube, causing a leak.
The risk
Loss of fluid from half of the diagonally split brakehydraulic system affects braking capability, which could result in an accident.
The fix
Modify heat shield to eliminate potential for shield contacting brake tube.
