What the defect is

A flexible brake hose that connects the hydraulic pump to the anti-lock brake system (ABS) valve block assembly can leak causing loss of brake fluid.

What could happen

Loss of brake fluid can result in the inoperation of primary brake circuit, including the rear brakes, and loss of ABS operation with a consequent reduction in braking performance and possible increased braking distances. Also, brake fluid leakage in the engine compartment could cause a fire if there is a source of ignition.

What gets fixed

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES TO DETERMINE IF IT IS FITTED WITH THE SUSPECT HOSE AND THEN REPLACE THE SUSPECT HOSE WITH THE LATEST DESIGN.

Your rights

A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.

That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 16 June 1995.

To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.

A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
