| Details | On certain vehicles equipped with 19 inch wheels, when the steering is on full left lock and the suspension is moving towards full compression, the left front brake hose, ABS wheel speed sensor lead, and, brake pad wear warning sensor lead, can catch on the wheel balance weight as the wheel rotates. This may lead to warnings of premature brake pad wear, warnings of ABS failure, or extended brake pedal travel and loss of one of the hydraulic service braking system circuits, which could result in extended stopping distances and a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the left front brake pipe assembly and replace if required. All clip-on wheel weights will be replaced with stick-on weights. Additionally, an owners handbook supplement will be produced stating the requirement to use stick-on wheel weights should future wheel balancing be required. |
