Reason for concern

POSSIBLITY THAT THE BRAKE PIPES MAY BE AFFECTED BY HEAT

Reason for recall

Some of the metal brake pipes are placed so that they could be affected by heat or they could be in a position where chafing could take place. If the above circumstances occur they could lead to in extreme circumstances and over a period of time either loss of brake fluid or air in the braking system. These conditions will lead to a reduction in the performance of the rear brakes.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected for inspection. If neccessary re-route replace the brake pipes. On some vehicles a machining tab on the rear differential may need to be removed to allow adequate clearance for the metal brake pipes.
