Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. The front brake lines can
develop pin holes due to chaffing against the edge of the pass-through hole in
the inner fender.
Brake fluid can leak resulting in deteriorated braking performance and
illumination of the brake indicator lamp.
Dealers will inspect the front brake lines for signs of wear and routing. If
the lines are not correctly centered in the pass-through hole, the lines will be
repositioned by bending slightly to correct. If there is evidence of brake line
wear, the brake line will be replaced.
