What is wrong
The front left brake pipe chafes against the power steering hose which wears a hole in the brake pipe. This causes a potential loss of brake fluid resulting in loss of front brake system operations.
The risk
If this occurs the braking effectiveness of the vehiclediminishes and may result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will install a new brake pipe with sufficient clearance to prevent this condition.
