September 19, 1980NHTSA 80V12000010,000 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, hydraulic › Foundation components › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary: Certain vehicles were equipped with front brake hose assemblies that were incorrectly manufactured by the supplier. These assemblies, both rh and lh, were incorrectly built with the fittings misoriented by 90 degrees. This could cause chafing of the brake hose through contact with the adjacent tire during full turns. Continued chafing could result in a brake fluid leak.
Remedy: Dealer will inspect both front brake hoses and, if necessary, replace one or both hoses at no charge.
