On certain vehicles, the right front brake line attachment to the ABS hydraulic control unit (HCU) may separate from the HCU. This may be due to an incorrect seat angle on the flare nut that is part of the brake line assembly. If this occurs, it could result in a loss of brake pressure to the front wheels and increased stopping distances which could in turn result in a vehicle crash. Correction: The flare nut on the brake line will be replaced with the correct nut.
