The problem

In some of the vehicles, brake tubes were misrouted between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit and results in exceeding the allowable stopping distances as required by FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems." in addition, seals within the master cylinder could be abraded by this condition over time resulting in an internal leak and a further reduction in brake performance.

The risk

Consequence of non-compliance: stopping distances could be longer than intended resulting in increased potential for a vehicle accident.

The fix

Dealers will reroute the brake tubes.
