Hazard

Improper routing of the front-wheel brake line in the primary brake system allows snow accumulation and ice formation on the line during winter conditions. Ice buildup grows and hangs down, contacting the road surface during operation and imposing heavy loads on the line. This can cause the line to fracture, resulting in brake fluid leakage, illumination of the brake warning light and alarm activation, and potential loss of braking function on the front wheels.

主制動装置の前輪用配管の取り回しが不適切なため、降雪時、当該配管に着雪して凍結し 氷塊となり、更に氷塊が下側に増大して垂れ下がり、走行時に路面等と接触して当該配管 に大きな荷重がかかることがある。そのため、当該配管が折損して制動液が漏れ、ブレー キの警告灯が点灯するとともに警報が鳴り、前輪が制動不能となるおそれがある。

Remedy

Inspect the front-wheel brake lines on all vehicles and replace with new lines if damage is found. Install snow-prevention plates on the front-wheel brake lines on all vehicles.
