Defect
The underbody routing of the suspension air pipe in the braking system is improper. Depending on driving conditions, a section of the right rear brake pipe may contact the air pipe. Continued use in this condition may damage the brake pipe and cause brake fluid to leak, resulting in reduced braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reposition the air pipe retaining bracket so that the brake pipe no longer contacts it.
