Brake Hose Corrosion May Cause Brake Fluid Leak
Description
Industrias Martinrea de Mexico SA de CV (Martinrea) has submitted a Defect Information Report based upon decisions made by Chrysler (FCA US LLC) and Ford Motor Company to conduct recalls (numbers 18V277 and 18V389 respectively). The brake circuit hose assemblies located between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit, may have been manufactured without anti-corrosion plating on the coupling fittings, or "ferrules," of the hoses. This can lead to premature corrosion, and result in a brake fluid leak.

A brake fluid leak can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
