Brakes

Issue Description

On certain vehicles, the pneumatic brake line hoses may have been manufactured using heater hose material instead of brake line hose material. Heater hoses are not appropriate for use as brake lines because the operating pressure of the braking system is much higher than that of the heating system. This could result in sudden brake line failure. Correction: Brake line hoses will be inspected and replaced where necessary with correct pneumatic brake line hoses.
