Manufacturer

What Happened
The brake hose fittings in your vehicle are connected to the front brake calipers. In certain regions, these fittings can corrode from water and road salt, which can cause the brake hose to leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake hose fitting corrodes and leaks, it could suddenly rupture while you're driving, making it harder to stop your vehicle. This increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealership will replace both front brake hose assemblies for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice in May 2010.
