What is wrong
THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE IS ROUTED TO THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL CAUSING IT TO CROSS AND CONTACT THE STEEL BRAKE LINE. THIS CAN CAUSE THE ABRASION AND RUPTURE OF THE STEEL BRAKE LINE RESULTING IN A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID.
What can happen
LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID DUE TO THE RUPTURE OF THE STEEL BRAKE LINE CAUSES LOSS OF REAR BRAKING CAPABILITY WHICH CAN RESULT IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REROUTE THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE AWAY FROM THE STEEL BRAKE LINE. THE STEEL BRAKE LINE WILL BE REPLACED IF ABRASION OR WEAR IS EVIDENT.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
