What are the defects?
Sections of hose delivering brake fluid from the Hydraulic Brake Control Modulator to the left-hand and right-hand front Brake Calipers may have been twisted during vehicle assembly. Stresses in the twisted hose may result in a slow brake fluid leak.
What are the hazards?
If a leak is not detected visually, the vehicle operator may notice the brake pedal begin to feel softer over successive applications. This may cause a gradual increase in vehicle stopping distance and pose an accident hazard.
What should consumers do?
Holden will write to all affected customers to notify them of required action.
