Description (français)

Les tuyaux flexibles du circuit pneumatique des freins avant peuvent se ramollir parce qu'ils passent trop près du collecteur d'échappement. Ces tuyaux ramollis peuvent se fendre et réduire la pression d'air sur les freins avant lors de l'application des freins. Cela entraîne une augmentation inattendue de la distance de freinage et un risque d'accident.
