Citroen C4: Brake Fluid May Leak

Citroën C4 Brake Fluid Leak Recall Citroën is recalling 6,906 C4 vehicles because brake fluid may leak where the rear flexible hose connects to the metal brake pipes. If left unchecked, this could cause a warning light to appear and reduce braking effectiveness. Dealers will inspect affected vehicles for leaks and replace the flexible hose and metal pipes if seepage is found.

Recalling firm
CITROEN
Product
Vehicles: CITROEN C4. Units affected: 6,906
Reason
There is a possibility that a seepage of brake fluid may occur at the union between the rear flexi hose and the metal brake pipes. This would eventually lead to the illumination of the low fluid warning lamp which if left would result in longer brake pedal travel and reduced effectiveness of the brakes. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that likely to be affected and check for seepage of brake fluid. If the brake fluid seepage is apparent the flexible brake hose and the associated metal brake pipes will be replaced.
