The defect

The tee bracket, which IS mounted on the front axle of the bogie, may fail due to vibration brought on by road surface irregularities. Bracket failure would leave the tee bracket unsupported and cause broken hose connector fittings. This would result in automatic application of the spring emergency brakes.

The remedy

The dealer will replace the defective bracket with a redesigned version.
