THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE LINE MAY CONTACT THE TRANSAXLE MOUNTING BRACKET OR ATTACHMENT BOLT. THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE BRAKE LINE TO WEAR THROUGH, RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND AN EVENTUAL HALF SYSTEM BRAKE FAILURE. THIS WOULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.rnCORRECTION: BRAKE LINES WILL BE REPOSITIONED WHERE NECESSARY. THOSE BRAKE LINES FOUND TO HAVE AN INDENTATION CAUSED BY CONTACT WILL BE REPLACED AND PROPERLY ROUTED.
