Cadillac Srx: Possibility Of Brake Failure
Cadillac SRX Brake Recall Summary Cadillac is recalling 54 SRX vehicles because the rear brake pipes may be positioned too close to the steering shaft, which could cause them to wear and leak brake fluid. If both pipes leak enough fluid, the brakes could fail completely. The fix involves replacing the affected brake pipe section with a redesigned part that maintains proper clearance.

- Vehicles: CADILLAC SRX. Units affected: 54
- Reason
- It has been identified that some vehicles may have insufficient clearance between one or both of the rear brake pipes and the intermediate steering shaft. Should either of the pipes touch the shaft a hole could be worn in the pipe causing brake fluid to leak out. If sufficient brake fluid leaks from the system the brake warning light will illuminate and braking would be limited to two wheels. Once sufficient brake fluid has leaked out of the second pipe; brake failure would occur. Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have a section of the subject pipe replaced with one that has been redesigned...
