RENAULT CLIO ( 22/11/2012 – 24/07/2014) DEFECT: The protectors for the front brake hoses may have been fitted incorrectly which could in the worst case scenario lead to a reduction in braking efficiency. If there is leakage of brake fluid the warning lamp will illuminate and more effort will have to be applied to the brakes to stop in good time. Additionally there is a possibility that brake fluid may leak from the rear brake cylinders with the same effects as above.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the front brake hoses and protectors. Where necessary reposition or replace the protectors and brake hoses. Replace the fixing dome caps that retain the rear brake shoes to the back plate.
