Important Safety Recall
NHTSA Safety Recall 24E-053
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
PowerStop has determined a noncompliance which relates to motor vehicle safety exists with its braided stainless-steel brake hoses. Following a thorough investigation, PowerStop has identified brake hoses sold as individual components or as part of brake kits (see list of part numbers below) fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 106 – Brake Hoses, and could increase the risk of a crash.
As a result, PowerStop is conducting a safety recall. While PowerStop has not received any reports of injuries as a result of this product, the company is taking proactive steps to remove all part numbers that do not conform with FMVSS No. 106.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
PowerStop will refund end customers the cost of the purchased PowerStop brake hoses as well as an additional fixed fee to reimburse the vehicle owner for the estimated cost of removal and replacement of these brake hoses.
In order to receive reimbursement for the purchased PowerStop brake hoses, the end customer must provide proof of purchase for PowerStop brake hoses included in this recall. The reimbursement amount is the retail price of the brake hoses. Note that in cases where the brake hoses were purchased as part of a brake kit, the reimbursement covers the price of the brake hoses but not the other brake kit components.
In order to receive an additional fixed reimbursement of $250.00 for estimated cost of removal of PowerStop brake hoses and installing new brake hoses, the end customer must submit a valid receipt from the installer for the repair work or provide visual images of PowerStop brake hoses off the vehicle.
