Defect
On certain vehicles, the rear brake tube may contact an underbody crossmember during normal vehicle operation and eventually wear a hole in the tube. If the tube becomes perforated, a reduction in braking will occur at the rear wheels, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash without prior warning.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Vehicles will be inspected and a rubber isolator will be installed on the brake tube. Those vehicles exhibiting contact that have more than 75,000km will have the brake tube replaced with the production tube and isolator.
