Recall Summary:
The front brake line connecting the front section of the dual brake master cylinder with the master brake pipe connector was improperly routed in assembly. This would cause the brake line to chafe against a clamp on the emission control air pump output hose. Continued abrasion may cuase perforation or rupture of the brake line, resulting in loss of brake fluid and loss of front braking capability.
How to Fix:
Dealer will reroute the front brake line to preclude chafing. If damaged, the brake line will be replaced, without charge to owner.
Recall Notes:

Consequences of defect: loss of front braking action would degrade brakingcapability, which could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident. Note: the red brake warning light on the instrument panel should warn thedriver of brake fluid loss. A spongy feel to the brake pedal is another warningsign.
