Medium riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Chevrolet - General motors. On certain vehicles, the left rear brake hose may contact the parking brake cable, causing the brake hose to wear. The resultant chafe damage could, over time, cause a brake fluid leak, which may result in a reduction of braking performance and increased stopping distance. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the left rear brake hose to ensure sufficient clearance to the park brake cable. The brake hose will also be inspected for damage and, if necessary, replaced. Published 2012-07-17.
