| Description of the problem | Brake line, part number 47326-60340 burst without warning when driving. The particular brake line part is above frame rail near firewall. The particular brake line part goes from brake master cylinder to brake fluid fitting on the vehice frame. It is buried under hood, not easy to inspect. Part of reason it is difficult to visually inspect is that there are "loops" in line to allow for flexibility between vehicle body and chassis. The vehicle is equiped with electrically boosted braking system. Under this leak condition, the electric boost functionality will be lost, the brake system operates in mechanical back-up mode. Brake pressure is generated solely from driver foot. Due to leak in one circuit, there is no brake pressure in one circuit of brake system. The combination of non boost-assisted braking and one circuit deactivate result in extremely demolished braking ability from driver. |
