## What is wrong

THE INTERIOR SURFACE OF THE THREADED HOLE FOR THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER BRAKE HOSES MAY CONTAIN POROUS SPOTS WHICH WOULD ALLOW BRAKE FLUID TO SEEP OUT OF THE CALIPERS DURING HEAVY BRAKE APPLICATIONS.  PROLONGED SEEPAGE WILL EVENTUALLY REEDUCE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN THE RESERVOIR AND MAY LEAD TO COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE.
