What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
A SUPPORT THAT CONNECTS THE BODY TO THE CHASSIS LIES AGAINST THE BRAKE LINE THAT CONNECTS THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE BRAKE WARNING SWITCH.
CONTINUED VIBRATIONS MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LINES TO WEAR THROUGH AND RESULT IN LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID.
CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID RESULTS IN COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES, WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
