What's wrong
A RETURN FLUID LINE OF THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM IS MISCONNECTED TO A REAR BRAKE FLUID RETURN. WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM COMES INTO USE, ALL THE FLUID FROM THE FRONT BRAKES GOES TO THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM. THE FLUID RETURNS TO THE FRONT SYSTEM WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED.
The risk
TOTAL LOSS OF FLUID IN THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM LEADS TOINCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES, AND COULD RESULT IN VEHICLE COLLISION.
The fix
REPLACE DEFECTIVE ABS SYSTEMS.
SYSTEM: ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS (ABS).VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS.
