Affects GMC C Series · 1979 — about 20 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain C20 pickup trucks, the front brake hoses may have improperly oriented hose fittings which could cause the right hose to rub against the upper control arm or could leave the left hose twisted resulting in a faulty attachment at the frame fitting. Either condition could result in failure of either brake hose causing a loss of front braking action.
