The problem
Rear brake hoses were not properly manufactured and do not conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 106, "brake hoses". Hoses could come loose from the end fittings when subjected to a pulling force.
The fix
A new hose will be installed if necessary. In addition, brakes will be serviced.
