RJ-0585-0

On certain rear wheel drive vehicles with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), the heat shield for the brake pipe is not installed (on the left front side member). If left unfixed, the temperature of the brake fluid can rise, in which case it becomes more likely to cause vapor lock, and in the worst case, this could result in reduced brake efficiency.
