Description (français)

Sous l'effet de fortes vibrations, le support des récepteurs de l'essieu avant peut faire fissurer la soudure qui retient le tube de la came en S au récepteur. Le bris risque d'entraîner la perte d'efficacité des freins avant et d'altérer le fonctionnement de la direction. La défectuosité peut provoquer un accident.
