- What is wrong
- Certain of the brake hoses for the right rear wheel were routed incorrectly so that contact is made with a suspension component. This causes abrasion to the hose and eventual leakage.
- Risk
- A leaking brake hose reduces braking capability, increases stopping distances and increases the risk of an accident.
- Remedy
- The right rear brake hose will be inspected to determine if it is routed correctly. Misrouted hoses will be inspected for damage, replaced if necessary, and correctly routed.
