S10 appropriate handling -copy of a letter to the president re the dangers of rupturing brake lines on a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The consumer stated the vehicle needed front brake pads, rotors which were more rusted out than worn and one caliper. As the consumer was bleeding the air from the hydraulic circuit, he noticed brake fluid pouring out of three locations on the driver's side. The steel brake lines had ruptured on both hydraulic circuits due to the steel lines rusting out. The consumer replaced all of the steel lines, as some of the rust was hidden from view within plastic retainers.
