Defect
These wheelchair-accessible vehicles are modified from standard floor-plan vehicles. The left-side brake hose bracket is improperly shaped, allowing the lateral rod to contact the bracket during vehicle vibration. In the worst case, the connection between the brake hose and brake tube may deform, causing brake fluid to leak and reducing braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the brake hose bracket. Where a defect is found, replace the brake hose bracket with a corrected part and replace the brake hose and brake tube with new units.
