GM/BRAKE PIPE CONTACTS PS ASSEMBLY

THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN THE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND EVENTUAL LOSS OF HALF OF THE VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM.

DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR PROPER CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE LINE AND POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY.

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE TIRES AS WELL AS MOUNT AND BALANCE THE NEW TIRES.

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL RAIL ON THESE VEHICLES.

THE CLIP MATERIAL ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAN IGNITE AND SUBSEQUENTLY IGNITE OTHER COMBUSTIBLE COMPONENTS RESULTING IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
