Defect
The weld joining the coil spring lower seat to the rear axle beam in the rear suspension was insufficient. Vibration during vehicle operation can cause the weld to separate, allowing the seat to tilt. When this occurs, the brake pipes secured to the seat may contact the rear axle beam. Continued operation in this condition can damage the brake pipes and, in the worst case, brake fluid may leak, reducing braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the serial number of the rear axle beam and replace affected beams with conforming parts. If weld separation is found, replace the brake pipes and brake hoses with new parts.
