What can go wrong

It has been identified that the potential exists for a foul condition to occur between a brake pipe and an engine mounted hose clip. A situation which could eventually result in failure of the brake pipe and an increase in stopping distance under braking. Additionally there is a risk of fire due to brake fluid escaping into the engine compartment.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will be inspected and the clearance between the brake pipe and hose clip checked. If the clearance is to tolerance and no damage exists no further action will be required. Should the clearance be below the required standard remedial action will be taken as appropriate.
