Safety risk
Brake fluid leakage from the caliper could occur, resulting in loss of rear braking capability.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the rear brake caliper support and, if it is bent, will replace the swing arm, together with the caliper and brake hose, if necessary. If the support is not bent, it will be reinforced with a plastic block. Owner notification began may 10, 2001.
