## What is wrong

CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH A LEFT\-FRONT BRAKE PIPE WITH A CIRCUMFERENTIAL SCORE AT A RANDOM LOCATION ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE PIPE AS THE RESULT OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS.  IF THE BRAKE PIPE PARTIALLY OR FULLY FRACTURED, BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WOULD IMMEDIATELY INCREASE AND FRONT BRAKE PERFORMANCE WOULD BE REDUCED.


## What can happen

IF BRAKING PERFORMANCE IS REDUCED, A CRASH COULD OCCUR.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LEFT\-FRONT BRAKE PIPE.  OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON MAY 29, 2003.
