Defect
On some vehicles, the brake pipe routing inside the driver's compartment is incorrect, causing the brake pipe to contact the parking brake lever. Continued use may damage the brake pipe, allowing brake fluid to leak and reducing braking force.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles. Where the clearance between the brake pipe and parking brake lever is insufficient, or where the pipe is already damaged, replace the brake pipe with a conforming unit.
