- The problem
- The parking brake cable is routed to the right rear wheel causing it to cross and contact the steel brake line. This can cause the abrasion and rupture of the steel brake line resulting in a loss of brake fluid.
- The risk
- Loss of brake fluid due to the rupture of the steel brake line causes loss of rear braking capability which can result in extended stopping distances and can cause an accident.
- The fix
- Dealers will reroute the parking brake cable away from the steel brake line. The steel brake line will be replaced if abrasion or wear is evident.
