Defect

The rear brake caliper flexible line may have been improperly routed, which could allow it to chafe against suspension components, and result in a brake fluid leak.

Safety risk

A brake fluid leak can cause a loss of brakes and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will modify the rear brake caliper flexible line mounting, and replace the rear brake caliper flexible line as needed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 21, 2021. Owners may contact Osage customer service at 1-800-822-3634.
