Defect
On medium-duty all-wheel-drive vehicles, the front brake pipes are improperly secured. Vibration from the brake drum during braking causes the pipes to resonate and develop cracks. Continued use allows brake fluid to seep from the cracks, reducing fluid level. In the worst case, braking force is reduced.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, install clamps on the affected brake pipes to prevent resonance, and replace the affected brake pipes with new parts.

状況
中型総輪駆動車の前輪用ブレーキパイプの固定方法が不適切なため、制動時のブレーキドラムの振動からブレーキパイプが共振し亀裂が生じることがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用すると、ブレーキ液が滲み出して液量が減少し、最悪の場合、制動力が低下するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該ブレーキパイプにクランプを取付け共振防止を図るとともに、当該ブレーキパイプを新品に交換する。
