On certain vehicles, the rear brake tube may contact an underbody crossmember during normal vehicle operation and eventually wear a hole in the tube. If the tube becomes perforated, a reduction in braking will occur at the rear wheels, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and a rubber isolator will be installed on the brake tube. Those vehicles exhibiting contact that have more than 75,000km will have the brake tube replaced with the production tube and isolator.

On certain vehicles, the fuel tank strap may separate due to high stress concentration at the double toggle lock upset area. Fuel tank strap separation could result in the fuel tank contacting the road surface or, on vehicles equipped with a fuel tank skid plate, the tank may contact the skid plate and wear at the point of contact. Either condition could result in fuel tank leakage. Correction: Double toggle lock fuel tank straps will be replaced with the single toggle lock design.
