Defect description
THE MASTER CYLINDER TO CHASIS BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES MAY HAVE BEEN MOVED FROM THEIR INTENDED POSITION, WHICH COULD ALLOW CHAFING AGAINST UNDERBODY COMPONENTS. CHAFING PROMOTES WEAR OF THE BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE ASSEMBLY AND COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID.
Manufacturer remedy
UPON INSPECTION BRAKE TUBE CLIPS WILL BE INSTALLED, IF NECESSARY, AND BRAKE TUBES AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES WILL BE REPLACED OR REROUTED.
THE PRIMARY CIRCUIT CONNECTION, WHICH PROVIDES PRIMARY ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE ENGINE, COULD DETERIORATE DUE TO HIGH CURRENT DRAW PRODUCED BY BUILDER-INSTALLED EQUIPMENT.
Manufacturer remedy
THE MAIN CAB WIRING HARNESS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WILL BE MODIFIED TO ELIMINATE DETERIORATION AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
