Chevrolet C Series: Brakes

Affects Chevrolet C Series · 1988 — about 6K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the right hand front brake hose on a full left hand turn and the left hand front brake hose on a full right hand turn might contact the wheel or tire. This could eventually wear the hose to the point of rupture resulting in loss of front brakes. Loss of front brakes at a time when minimum stopping distance is required could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: New front brake hose brackets will be installed and worn front brake hoses replaced.
