On certain vehicles, the front air brake hoses can contact the inner fender extensions and eventually chafe through to the point of rupture. This would result in a partial brake system failure and increased stopping distances, which could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: A portion of the inner fender extension will be cut out and the front brake hoses will be inspected for chafing and replaced if necessary.
