Recall Summary:
Some of the subject vehicles may have been built with front wheel brake hoses that are too long. This may make it possible for the brake hose to contact a front tire during a full left or right turn, which could result in chafing of the brake hose and subsequent brake fluid leakage.
How to Fix:
Vehicles will be inspected and, if necessary, front brake hoses and brackets will be replaced at no charge.
Recall Notes:
Vehicle description: trucks. System: service brakes; brake hoses (front). Consequences of defect: brake fluid leakage may cause a total loss of servicebrakes and a vehicle accident, especially in situations where minimum stoppingdistance is required. Note: increased pedal travel and sponginess in the brake pedal are warningindicators of brake fluid leakage.
