Surface corrosion

Blistering/corrosion of the Brake line coating, without pits/material loss in the base material. Brake lines that exhibit surface corrosion and where there is no corrosion penetration/pits or structural damage to the base material must be cleaned and then preservation agent applied to the Brake lines 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 that may be incurred.

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.
