Hazard
The front wheel brake line fastening method is inadequate, which may cause stress at both ends of the brake line due to vibration during operation. This may result in cracks forming in the affected area due to operating vibration, leading to brake fluid leakage and potential reduction in braking force in worst-case scenarios.
