Power Stop Recalls Braided Steel Brake Hoses for Leak Risk

Power Stop LLC is recalling certain braided steel brake hoses that may leak or be mislabeled. A leak can reduce braking performance and increase crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake hoses) that can lead to a crash, but the source text does not report any injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Power Stop LLC is recalling certain braided steel brake hoses. The recall covers specific part numbers listed in the attached documentation. These hoses may leak and may also be labeled incorrectly, causing them to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 106, "Brake Hoses."

A brake fluid leak can reduce braking performance and extend the distance required to stop, which increases the risk of a crash. The source text does not specify the number of affected vehicles or report any injuries or fatalities.

Owners should contact PowerStop customer service at 1-888-863-4415. PowerStop will refund the cost of the purchased brake hoses and reimburse the vehicle owner for the estimated cost of removal and replacement. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
