What is wrong
On some vehicles, the sealing surfaces for a hydraulic brake hose on a front brake caliper were covered by paint residue. Brake fluid gradually dissolves the paint, opening a small path between the sealing surface and the gasket allowing brake fluid to leak when the brake is applied.
The risk
This can result in increased stopping distances and a possible vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will remove paint from the brake caliper, replace copper gaskets and bleed the front brakes.
