Defect
The air tank mounting bracket is improperly welded. Vehicle vibration causes the weld to separate, allowing the bracket to become loose. Continued use damages the air pipe attached to the tank, and in the worst case, air leaks and braking force is reduced.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the weld condition of the mounting bracket. If the weld is inadequate, perform weld repair. Additionally, inspect the air pipe; if the air pipe is damaged, replace it with a new one.
