What This Recall Means

Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

What Happened
The brake tube in your vehicle connects the front and rear brakes, helping prevent wheels from locking up while you're braking. In certain 2004 models, there's a risk of the tube rubbing against the transmission housing.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake tube is damaged, you could lose braking force on the left front and right rear wheels, making it harder to stop safely, especially on slippery roads or when driving downhill.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the brake tube with a revised, safer version, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should contact the dealer to schedule it as soon as possible.

Affected Vehicles
