Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme: Brakes

Affects Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme · 1993–1994 — about 7K vehicles.

The hazard

Certain vehicles may have been produced with a brake pipe contacting the transmission mounting bracket or frame side rail. This condition can cause the brake line to wear through resulting in loss of brake fluid and eventual partial brake system failure. This would increase braking distances and could result in a crash without prior warning. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and brake lines repositioned where necessary. Brake lines found to have an indentation caused by contact will be replaced.
