Question 4566
Is it necessary to check the brake system hoses?
- Only if the vehicle is losing brake fluid.
- Yes, they must be kept clean, free of cracks and leaks.
- No, since brake hoses do not break or wear out.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, they must be kept clean, free of cracks and leaks.
Yes. Brake hoses are the flexible tubes that carry brake fluid to each wheel. Over time, they can crack, and a leak causes a loss of fluid and braking force. Check them regularly, even if the fluid level is fine. They must be clean, with no cracks, stains, or leaks.
