Risk and remedy
Risk
Loose air brake lines can become disconnected or leak which could cause a decrease in braking ability or resulting in application of the parking brake without it being activated. this could result in a crash. also if the drive shaft bolts are left loose, the drive shaft could become disengaged making the vehicle immovable. if the ABS sensors are not secured properly using the correct clips, the ABS sensors could go out of alignment.
Remedy
