Dodge Dakota: Brakes
Affects Dodge Dakota · 1991 — about 4K vehicles.
The hazard
ON TWO WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES, THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HOSE MAY CONTACT THE TIRE DURING FULL LOCK LEFT TURNS. THIS COULD CAUSE THE HOSE TO WEAR THROUGH AND RESULT IN FLUID LOSS AND A PARTIAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WHICH WOULD IN TURN RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND A POSSIBLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED FOR PROPER CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE HOSE AND TIRE. IF REQUIRED, THE HOSE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A MODIFIED VERSION THAT WILL ENSURE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE.
