On certain vehicles, the rear axle brake tubes can fatigue, resulting in a loss of fluid in the rear brake system and reduced braking capability. Loss of rear braking, at a time when minimum stopping distance is required, could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: New brake pipe assemblies with redesigned mounting brackets will be installed.
