Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo: Brakes

Affects Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo · 2005 — about 5 vehicles.

The hazard

Certain vehicles equipped with 4-wheel ABS, a 2.4L turbo engine and 5-speed manual transaxle, may have inadequate clearance between the left front brake tube and the transaxle housing. Contact between the brake tube and transaxle housing over an extended period of time may eventually lead to perforation of the brake tube that could result in loss of braking at the left front and right rear wheels. Reduced braking efficiency could result in extended stopping distances, which may lead to a crash, causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a revised brake tube.
