On certain vehicles, if the front wheels are turned to full lock, the wheel could contact the brake hose and damage the hose. If the brake hose becomes damaged, loss of brake fluid in the front brake circuit may occur which could result in a partial brake system failure and increased stopping distances. Correction: A retaining bracket will be installed on the front brake hoses.
