What is wrong
Two hydraulic system pipes connecting the hydraulic brake pumps to the accumulators can contact each other, resulting in a hydraulic fluid leak.
The risk
Chafing of the pipes can result in a fluid leak and consequent loss of braking performance.
The fix
Dealers will reposition the pipes to prevent contact between the two pipes.
