Defect
The brake pipe routing on the right side of the rear axle is improperly configured, causing the shock absorber to interfere with the brake pipe during vehicle operation. Continued use damages the brake pipe and, in the worst case, allows brake fluid to leak and reduces braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, confirm whether the right rear axle brake pipe has been replaced with the corrected part. On any vehicle where the corrected part has not been installed, replace the pipe with the corrected part.
