Additionally there is a possibility that brake fluid may leak from the rear brake cylinders with the same effects as above.

   Remedy

   Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the front brake hoses and protectors. Where necessary reposition or replace the protectors and brake hoses. Replace the fixing dome caps that retain the rear brake shoes to the back plate.
