What is this? A car maker found a problem with some cars. The plastic cover under the front wheel can hurt a brake hose.

What's happening? If the cover is put on wrong, it can cut the brake hose. This may cause a slow leak or the hose could burst.

Does this affect me? If you own one of these cars, your brakes might not work right. This can happen in many countries.

What should I do? Take your car to a garage right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic to check the plastic cover and brake hose.
