What is wrong
Certain of the brake hoses for the right rear wheel were routed incorrectly so that contact is made with a suspension component. This causes abrasion to the hose and eventual leakage.
The risk
A leaking brake hose reduces braking capability, increases stopping distances and increases the risk of an accident.
The fix
The right rear brake hose will be inspected to determine if it is routed correctly. Misrouted hoses will be inspected for damage, replaced if necessary, and correctly routed.
