The issue
On certain vehicles, the front air brake hoses can contact the inner fender extensions and eventually chafe through to the point of rupture. This would result in a partial brake system failure and increased stopping distances, which could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: A portion of the inner fender extension will be cut out and the front brake hoses will be inspected for chafing and replaced if necessary.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les tuyaux flexibles du circuit de freinage, à air comprimé peuvent frotter contre les prolongements intérieurs de l'aile et s'user jusqu'au point de rupture. Il pourrait en résulter une défaillance partielle du circuit de freinage et une augmentation des distances d'arrêt, d'où un risque d'accident.
