What are the defects?
It is possible that standard bolts rather than metric bolts may have been used in production to attach the brake caliper to the anchor plate at each wheel assembly. Incorrect bolts may not provide sufficient clamping force between the caliper and another plate, which could in turn lead to reduce brake effectiveness and increased risk of accident.
What are the hazards?
Vehicle malfunction
