Defect
In the brake system, the clearance between the brake pipes and the leaf springs is insufficient, causing the brake pipes to contact the leaf springs and sustain surface scratches. The protective plating wears away, allowing corrosion to develop during service. In the worst case, brake fluid leaks and braking force is reduced.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake pipes and brake chamber bracket with corrected parts.
