Alfa Romeo Gtv: Rear Brake Hose May Chafe Suspension

ALFA ROMEO GTV and SPIDER Rear Brake Hose Recall Alfa Romeo is recalling 24 GTV and Spider vehicles because the rear brake hoses may rub against suspension parts when the vehicle is fully loaded, potentially damaging the hoses and causing brake fluid to leak. This could reduce braking efficiency. Dealers will reroute the brake hoses and replace any that are damaged.
