CADILLAC CTS ( 01/01/2003 – 31/12/2007) DEFECT: It is possible that the front brake hoses at the brake caliper could suffer excessive corrosion to the fittings as a result of corrosive content of the road salt within snow or water. Should the fitting corrode significantly it can result in a brake fluid leak. This leak should be identified. However should the hose detach or rupture without warning then the vehicle braking distance will increase which could cause a collision.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles for the brake hoses to be replaced.
