The problem
The fuel and rear brake tubes can experience accelerated corrosion between the tubes and a rubber isolator.
The risk
Corrosion of the tubes can lead to brake fluid or fuel leakage. This can cause a loss of brakes or result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the brake, fuel supply and fuel vapor tubes for the presence of corrosion. Any tubes showing corrosion will be replaced. All vehicles will have the rubber isolator replaced with a plastic clip.
