THE RETURN LINE FOR CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER CAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR DURING DRIVING RESULTING IN A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID WHEN THE CAR RETURNED TO THE GARAGE. FLUID WAS PROBABLY LOST DURING THE DRIVE. THERE IS NO CLAMP ON THIS HOSE, THERE IS A RIBBED MALE STUB COMING OFF THE RESERVOIR THAT THE HOSE SLIDES ON, BUT IT EASILY SLIDES ON AND OFF. I HAVE 2,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE HOSE BECAME DISCONNECTED. IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE PUDDLE, IF I HAD GONE FOR ANOTHER DRIVE, I MIGHT HAVE LOST ALL THE BRAKE FLUID AND LOST BRAKING AND THE CLUTCH OPERATIONS. WHY THERE ISN'T A CLAMP ON THIS HOSE IS CONFUSING. WILL THE HOSE COME LOOSE AGAIN DURING A FUTURE DRIVE? *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
