- The front brake hose routing on the involved vehicles may allow interference between the hoses and the front tires during extreme turning angles.
- The fix
- Special brake hose restraining straps will be installed on each involved vehicle to relocate both front hoses and ensure that adequate hose to tire clearance is maintained.
