The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced the recall of 2003 through 2007 model year <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cts">Cadillac CTS</a> sedans for a brake issue that may lead to longer stop times and the increased risk of a crash. Recalled models reside in 21 cold weather states north of the Mason Dixon Line. NHTSA says snow and road salt could cause a front brake hose fitting at the caliper to corrode, with contaminants entering the routing sleeve. Significant corrosion could then result in a brake hose-tube interface that may develop a leak. That sounds bad because it is, but a fix is just a dealer visit away.<br />
<br />
Owners of affected CTS models can take their vehicle to the nearest <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/">General Motors</a> dealership to have both front brake hose assemblies replaced free of charge. Hit the jump to read the NHTSA press release, which includes all 21 states involved in the recall.<br />
