Defect
The left front wheel brake pipe is improperly assembled, causing it to contact the suspension damper. Continued operation allows the interference to damage the pipe and, in the worst case, brake fluid may leak, reducing braking force.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles. On any vehicle where the clearance between the brake pipe and suspension damper is insufficient, or where damage is present, replace the brake pipe with a conforming part.
