| Description of the problem | My outback developed a brake line leak. The leak was located is the same location that was inspected and rust proofed per nhtsa campaign: 14v-311000, service campaign wqk47. The leak was discover after my 16 son lost most of brakes while in motion. Luckily there was not a serious crash as a result of the brake pedal going all the way to the floor board. The brake lines were repaired for $336. This recall was ineffective and the brake lines should have been better protected against corrosion. |
