Date Announced
APR 30, 1979
Vehicles Affected
162,000
NHTSA Campaign #
79V106000
Summary
Some of these vehicles were produced with misindexed front brake hoses which could contact a tire or wheel in a full-turn condition. Chafing and wear to the brake hose could result in loss of brake fluid and front wheel braking capability.
Actions
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, re-index the front brake hose. Those hoses showing signs of abrasion will be replaced, without charge to owner.
