The defect

Front axle air brake lines are routed too close to the engine exhaust manifold. This can permit brake lines to melt and rupture, causing a reduction in air pressure to brake chambers upon brake application.

The remedy

Front axle air brake lines will be replaced, employing new routing and heat resistance improvements.
