What this recall means for you
The rear brake caliper flexible line on these vehicles may have been routed improperly. Over time, the line can rub against suspension components and wear through, causing a brake fluid leak.
A brake fluid leak can lead to a loss of braking, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should not ignore warning signs such as a low brake fluid level, a soft or sinking brake pedal, or visible fluid near the rear wheels.
The remedy is free. An authorized dealer will modify the mounting of the rear brake caliper flexible line and replace the line if needed. Owners can check their VIN for open recalls and contact Osage customer service at 1-800-822-3634 with questions.
