What is wrong
THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE LINE AT THE REAR AXLE AND FUEL TANK RETAINING BAND IS NOT WIDE ENOUGH AND ALLOWS THE LINE TO CONTACT THE BAND DURING SEVERE OPERATING CONDITIONS. CONTINUED CONTACT MAY CAUSE THE DAMAGED BRAKE LINE TO RESTRICT THE FLOW OF BRAKE FLUID, OR RUPTURE, RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID OR RESTRICTION OF BRAKE FLUID FLOW RESULTS IN LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY OF REAR WHEEL WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

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.
