Defect
Insufficient clearance between the brake pipes and the leaf springs allows the pipes to contact the springs, abrading the pipe surface and removing the protective plating. The exposed metal corrodes during normal service use. In the worst case, the brake pipes may perforate, causing brake fluid to leak and reducing brake force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake pipes and the brake chamber bracket with corrected parts.
