What is wrong
SOME OF THE SUBJECT VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH FRONT WHEEL BRAKE HOSES THAT ARE TOO LONG. THIS MAY MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE BRAKE HOSE TO CONTACT A FRONT TIRE DURING A FULL LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, WHICH COULD RESULT IN CHAFING OF THE BRAKE HOSE AND SUBSEQUENT BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, FRONT BRAKE HOSES AND BRACKETS WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE.

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.
