The defect

The incorrectly installed left front brake hoses may allow for contact between the front brake hoses and the front tires when the front wheels are in full right or left turn positions. If contact IS made, the hose could wear and allow brake fluid to leak out.

The remedy

The dealer will inspect front brake hoses and replace those lacking the proper clearance with current production hoses, without charge to owner.
