Defect
On front two-axle vehicles, the brake pipes are improperly shaped. When the steering is turned to full lock and the vehicle crosses a road irregularity, the pipes may contact the tires. Continued use in this condition can damage the pipes and, in the worst case, rupture them, causing an air leak and reduced braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake pipes with corrected parts.
