Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

What is wrong: On some vehicles, the sealing surfaces for a hydraulic brake hose on a front brake caliper were covered by paint residue. Brake fluid gradually dissolves the paint, opening a small path between the sealing surface and the gasket allowing brake fluid to leak when the brake is applied.
Risk: This can result in increased stopping distances and a possible vehicle accident.
Remedy: Dealers will remove paint from the brake caliper, replace copper gaskets and bleed the front brakes.
