Defect
The brake air pipes are improperly routed, causing high stress in the pipes when the vehicle travels over rough roads or experiences severe vibration. Continued operation under these conditions can cause the pipes to crack and leak air. In the worst case, the cracks may grow to the point where the spring-type parking brake activates while the vehicle is in motion.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the brake air pipes. On any vehicle not already equipped with the corrected part, replace the air pipes with the corrected parts and relocate and add the pipe clamps.
