Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The anti-lock brake system high pressure hose may leak or detach at its crimped end fitting resulting in the discharge of hydraulic fluid.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Fluid discharge eventually causes the loss of both theanti-lock brake system and hydraulic assist for the brake system, resulting inincreased likelihood of brake lockup and increased stopping distances, whichcould result in a vehicle accident.
