Description (français)

Sur ces véhicules le tuyau du frein arrière qui relie le maître- cylindre au répartiteur peut toucher le support du résonateur du tuyau d'échappement. À la longue, le tuyau du frein peut s'user suffisamment pour causer une fuite de liquide de frein et une perte partielle de là capacité de freinage. Au cas ou un véhicule en circulation a besoin de freiner sur une distance minimale, cette situation peut être à l'origine d'un accident.
