I received a letter from Vines today informing me that my Adventure needs to go in to have its rear brake hose replaced. Apparently they are prone to splitting due to the longer travel suspension. It only applies to the Adventures from what I can gather. I imagine that it must get stretched everytime it is put on the centrestand.
 
Mine was done early August. They should also replace your Swingarm (case) if the original hose has been chafing on it.
If it has (paint will be rubbed off) check rear hub for lateral play both before and after the work. One month after mine was done the rear hub/wheel had significant lateral play and I can't believe that it was down to normal wear and tear (11Kmiles), more like bodged mechanics.
 
I should have said that my recall was GS Adventure specific, as you post doesn't say either way.
