2000 Cadillac Hearse & 2000 Cadillac Limousine recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: Limousine and Hearse model vehicles. The right front brake hose CAN contact the wheel resulting in damage to the brake hose.
💥 The risk
If the hose becomes damaged, there CAN be a loss of brake fluid and pressure in half of the brake system. The brake pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances will be longer, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the right front brake hose assembly. The left front brake hose assembly will also be replaced to prevent the possibility of incorrect position of the hose during any future service.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
