What is wrong
THE AIR COMPRESSOR AIR SUPPLY LINE IS ROUTED FROM THE COMPRESSOR OVER THE TOP OF THE FRAME RAIL, UNDER THE BRAKE HYDROMAX, AND DOWN TO THE AIR SYSTEM. THIS LINE CAN CONTACT THE STEEL SECTION OF THE HYDROMAX HYDRAULIC SUPPLY LINE, CAUSING A LEAK TO OCCUR IN THE HYDRAULIC LINE, ALLOWING HYDRAULIC FLUID TO LEAK ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY.
What can happen
THE LEAK ALLOWS ENOUGH FLUID TO BE PUMPED FROM THE SYSTEM TO ELIMINATE POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE ELECTRONIC SECONDARY BRAKE PUMP WILL ENGAGE, BUT THE LEAK WILL RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A CUSHION CLIP ON THE TOP LEFT FRAME RAIL SEPARATING AND ELIMINATING ANY CONTACT BETWEEN THE STEEL JACKETED AIR LINE AND THE METAL SECTION OF THE HYDRAULIC LINE.

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.
