The short answer
NHTSA received PEUGEOT, INC.’s report on Jun 8, 1977. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
THE FRONT BRAKE LINE CONNECTING THE FRONT SECTION OF THE DUAL BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WITH THE MASTER BRAKE PIPE CONNECTOR WAS IMPROPERLY ROUTED IN ASSEMBLY.
THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BRAKE LINE TO CHAFE AGAINST A CLAMP ON THE EMISSION CONTROL AIR PUMP OUTPUT HOSE.
CONTINUED ABRASION MAY CUASE PERFORATION OR RUPTURE OF THE BRAKE LINE, RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND LOSS OF FRONT BRAKING CAPABILITY.
