- The problem
- The right front crossover pipe, which carries brake hydraulic fluid, may break and leak fluid. This occurs when the right front fender skirt contacts the pipe and vibration causes the pipe to wear through.
- The fix
- If the position and clearance of the brake pipe are incorrect, the fender skirt will be adjusted and a replacement pipe will be installed.
