FRONT WHEEL BRAKE AIR SUPPLY HOSES ARE INCORRECTLY ROUTED. THIS ALLOWS THE HOSES TO CONTACT THE ENGINE LEFT HAND EXHAUST PIPE CAUSING BURNING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNAL FRACTURES OF THE HOSES. AS A RESULT OF THESE FRACTURES, LOSS OF AIR SUPPLY TO THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE ONLY OR TO BOTH FRONT BRAKES CAN OCCUR DURING BRAKING. THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
