Defect
In the brake system, the bracket welds securing the air charge pipe — which supplies air to the air tank — are defective. Vehicle vibration may cause cracks to develop in the pipe. In the worst case, air may leak from the pipe, reducing braking force.

On all vehicles, replace the pipe with a conforming part, replace the mounting bracket with a corrected part, and add an additional securing bracket.
