Defect
On a small number of vehicles, the bolts that secure the front brake caliper mounting bracket(s) and the wheel hub(s) to the steering knuckle(s) may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the caliper(s) could move and cause the brake hose(s) to become damaged. If this happens, brake fluid could leak and cause reduced braking. Additionally, the hub bolts could loosen and cause the front wheel(s) to separate from the vehicle. Safety Risks: Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. A wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also create a hazard for others.
