What was wrong

Defect

The brake hoses could leak fluid and possibly rupture.

Risk

Failure of the brake hose would lengthen the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Omix Ada will notify wholesalers and owners, and will supply replacement brake hoses, free of charge. The recall began on January 31, 2014. Owners may contact Omix Ada at 1-770-614-6101. Omix Ada's number for this recall is CBRK 1-13.
