What can happen

Safety consequence

AN EXTRA ADAPTER FITTING USED ALONG WITH AN INCORRECT THROUGH-FRAME FITTING MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE FLUID LINE. THE ADDITIONAL LENGTH OF THE EXTRA FITTING COULD MOVE THE FLUID LINE INTO A POSITION OF INTERFERENCE WITH THE CLUTCH ROD, CAUSING WEAR ON THE FLUID LINE.

What fixes it

Official remedy

THE UNNECESSARY ADAPTER FITTING WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE CORRECT THROUGH-FRAME FITTING WILL BE INSTALLED. THE BRAKE LINE WILL BE INSPECTED FOR EVIDENCE OF WEAR AND REPLACED, IF NECESSARY, AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
