## What is wrong

Certain 4X4 pickup trucks may have inadequate clearance between the front tire/wheel and the brake hose/ABS sensor wire assembly.  During full lock turns, it is possible for the tire or wheel to contact the brake hose/ABS sensor wire assembly, ultimately resulting in damage to the sensor wire and the possibility of a hole in the brake hose.  This could result in loss of braking force at the front wheels.  Correction:  Dealers will inspect affected vehicles and correct the hose/ABS sensor wire contact condition where required. The front brake hose assemblies will be replaced and the ABS sensor wire will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
