Defect	In the braking system, due to inappropriate design, the length of the front brake hose is insufficient. As a result, if use continues in this state, excessive load will be applied to the end of the brake hose due to the steering angle, causing cracks to form in the brake hose. In the worst case, brake fluid may leak, the warning light may illuminate, and braking performance may decrease.
Component	Braking system (Brake hose)
Remedy	For all vehicles, the front brake hose and bracket will be replaced with improved parts.
