Defect
The brake air pipe is improperly routed, causing high stress to develop in the pipe when the vehicle experiences severe vibration on rough roads. Continued use allows cracks to form in the pipe, resulting in an air leak. In the worst case, the cracks may propagate and braking force may decrease.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the air pipe. On any vehicle where the corrected part has not yet been installed, replace the air pipe with a corrected part.
