What Happened
The brake pipe in your vehicle is a crucial hose that carries brake fluid to the front right wheel. In some cases, it can rub against the body of your truck, which could damage it over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake pipe gets damaged, you could lose brake fluid pressure, making your brake pedal feel spongy. This could lead to longer stopping distances, especially in emergency situations where stopping quickly is crucial – you might not be able to stop in time, which could cause a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the brake pipe and replace the damaged section or add a spacer clip to prevent future damage – both repairs are free. You should schedule the inspection as soon as you get the recall notice.
