FaultCrate・Front right-hand brake pipe contact with body cross sill - recall 00V-345
The brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid level reaches the indicator limit.
Clearance between the front right-hand brake pipe and the body cross sill can decrease until they touch.
How to tell
What to do
- Dealers inspect the front right-hand brake pipe for wear.
- A worn section is replaced with a redesigned pipe section; otherwise a spacer clip is installed.
If left
- If the pipe is damaged, half of the brake system can lose fluid and pressure.→ loss of fluid and pressure in half of the brake system
- The pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances longer.→ lower pedal and longer stopping distances
In the records
- Brake Line: replaced 1
- Spacer Clip: replaced 1

Why it happensClearance between the front right-hand brake pipe and the body cross sill can decrease until they touch.
SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CLEARANCE CONDITION BETWEEN THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL THAT COULD DECREASE TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING CONTACT DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.— [1]
If leftIf the pipe is damaged, half of the brake system can lose fluid and pressure.
IF CONTACT OCCURS AND THE BRAKE PIPE BECOMES DAMAGED, IN HALF OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM THERE CAN BE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PRESSURE.— [1]
First signsThe brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid level reaches the indicator limit.
THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP WILL BE ACTIVATED WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL REACHES THE INDICATOR LIMIT.— [1]
If leftThe pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances longer.
DURING BRAKING, THE PEDAL WILL BE LOWER THAN NORMAL AND STOPPING DISTANCES WILL BE LONGER.— [1]
How to confirmDealers inspect the front right-hand brake pipe for wear.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE FOR WEAR.— [1]
RepairA worn section is replaced with a redesigned pipe section; otherwise a spacer clip is installed.
IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF WEAR, THIS SECTION OF THE BRAKE PIPE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW DESIGNED BRAKE PIPE SECTION. IF THERE ARE NOT SIGNS OF WEAR ON THE BRAKE PIPE, THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A SPACER CLIP TO ENSURE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL.— [1]
