SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
ON SOME VEHICLES, THE SEALING SURFACES FOR A HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSE ON A FRONT BRAKE CALIPER WERE COVERED BY PAINT RESIDUE. BRAKE FLUID GRADUALLY DISSOLVES THE PAINT, OPENING A SMALL PATH BETWEEN THE SEALING SURFACE AND THE GASKET ALLOWING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE PAINT FROM THE BRAKE CALIPER, REPLACE COPPER GASKETS AND BLEED THE FRONT BRAKES.
