• Advanced corrosion 

  Corrosion with pits/material loss in the base material. Brake lines that exhibit advanced corrosion with corrosion penetration/pits or structural damage to the base material must be partially or completely replaced subject to a separate repair order in accordance with the corresponding country-specific regulations for mobility and body shell complaints and after consultation with the customer with regard to any costs may be incurred.
