NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TRACTION CONTROL.

WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE TURNED ON, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE ARM MAY CONTACT A BRAKE LINE CONNECTED TO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) MODULATOR.

THIS COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE, REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES.

CORRECTION: A BRAKE LINE CLIP WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL ASSURE PROPER CLEARANCE.

ADDITIONALLY, VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED FOR BRAKE LINE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS CONDITION AND DAMAGED BRAKE LINES WILL BE REPLACED.
