Summary:
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE

SPECIFICATIONS. IT COULD LOOSEN AND OVER TIME THE BRAKE HOSE
COULD RUB AGAINST THE WHEEL WELL. |
Consequence:
THE FRONT LEFT BRAKE HOSE COULD BECOME
DAMAGED TO THE POINT WHERE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID COULD OCCUR
INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. |

SUPPORT BRACKET TO THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL WELL. THE RECALL IS
