Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake lines) that may result in reduced braking effectiveness and an increased risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Magnum Shielding Corporation is recalling certain Magnum Build-Your-Own (BYO) brake lines and brake line kits sold as aftermarket equipment. The recall involves 1,835 units.
The affected brake lines fail to conform to the elevated temperature water absorption strength tests for tensile, burst, and whip resistance, as well as high temperature impulse requirements, mandated by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106, "Brake Hoses." Failure to meet these requirements may result in reduced braking effectiveness, which increases the risk of a crash.
The safety recall began on July 18, 2011. Magnum will notify owners of record, and the noncompliant hoses will be replaced free of charge. Owners may contact Magnum at 1-585-381-8380 extension 3 for customer service.
