The left front brake pipe is too close in design to the resin clip securing the power steering hose, and therefore the two parts can interfere with each other from vibration during driving if they are installed too close due to the installation variation. If this problem is left unattended, in the worst case, the brake pipe may be damaged causing brake fluid to leak, which can adversely affect braking performance. (This recall is not for vehicles with ABS.)
Case Number:
RJ-1315-0
Make/model:
Issued:
Tue, 2004-12-07
Component:
brake pipe
Affected:
60 482
Correction:
(1) For vehicles with air conditioning systems, the left front brake pipe should be inspected. If the pipe is not damaged, the resin clip should be removed, and the power steering hose should be secured to the air conditioning hose with the resin band to keep sufficient space. If the pipe is damaged, it should be replaced with the factory approved replacement unit. Incidentally, if it is likely to take time to have the factory approved replacement unit available, as a temporary measure, the pipe should be repaired, the resin clip should be removed, the power steering hose should be secured to the air conditioning hose with the resin band to keep sufficient space, and the replacement with the factory approved replacement unit should be carried out at a later date. (2) For vehicles without air conditioning systems, the brake pipe should be replaced with the factory approved replacement unit
