The hazard
On certain Rhino side-by-side off-road vehicles, the brake caliper on the left front wheel may have been machined incorrectly, preventing the union joint (a.k.a. banjo joint) bolt from sealing properly against the caliper. This condition could result in a brake fluid leak and reduced braking ability, causing a loss of control and a vehicle crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if needed, replace the caliper assembly.
