Defect
The air charge pipe supplying compressed air to the brake air tank is not properly secured. Continued use allows vehicle vibration to cause cracks to develop in the pipe. In the worst case, air pressure becomes insufficient and braking force decreases.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add mounting hardware and fixing hardware to the pipe, and replace the pipe with a non-defective part.
