On certain vehicles, ice may accumulate on the rear brake pipes located approximately under the driver's side floor mat. If a large amount of ice accumulates on the brake pipes, the weight of the buildup may pull the pipes away from the underbody of the vehicle which could cause the pipes to drag on the ground and be damaged. Damaged brake pipes could result in loss of brake fluid and reduced brake effectiveness. Correction: A brake pipe retainer clip will be installed to the underbody.
