On certain camper trailers, a flexible brake hose could come into contact with the tire, which over time and miles can abrade the brake line hose and cause a leak of the hydraulic fluid. This could result in a loss of trailer brakes, which could contribute to a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Brake hose position will be inspected and, if necessary, a vinyl coated clamp will be added to secure any excess length of hose to the frame of the camper.
