Hazard

On large trucks, the brake pipe on the flywheel housing side was installed with deformation, causing interference with the transmission shift rod located in close proximity. Continued use in this condition may result in brake pipe damage and, in worst case, brake fluid leakage leading to reduced braking force.

大型トラックのフライホイールハウジング側方のブレーキパイプを変形させて組付けたため、当該パイプが近傍にある変速機用の変速ロッドと干渉するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ブレーキパイプが損傷し、最悪の場合、ブレーキ液が漏れ、制動力が低下するおそれがある。

Remedy

Inspect the clearance on all vehicles and ensure adequate clearance if found to be insufficient. Replace the brake pipe with a new one if damage is detected.
