| Defect Summary : The plastic brake hydraulic hose from the automatic slip control unit was misrouted too close to the pre-resistor for the electric auxiliary engine cooling fan which becomes hot under certain conditions. this could cause the hose to melt and leak brake fluid onto the hot pre-resistor. |
Consequence Summary: Brake fluid can catch on fire when it contacts the hotpre-resistor, posing the risk of injury to anyone in or near the vehicle. |
| Corrective Summary : Replace and reroute any hose that may have been misrouted. |
Recall Notes: System: brakes; non metal hydraulic lines.vehicle description: passenger cars with "asr" automatic slip control.note: the manufacturer suggests that the car be operated with the automaticclimate control turned off or on ec (economy) mode. this will prevent thepre-resistor fromgetting too hot. |
