The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRUCK CHASSIS ON WHICH SPECIAL APPLICATION BODIES, MODELS P-2000, SU, OR VU, HAVE BEEN MOUNTED. THE BODY MOUNTING BRACKETS WERE INSTALLED SO THEY TOUCH HYDRAULIC BRAKE TUBING INSIDE THE FRAME RAILS. VIBRATION FROM ROAD TRAVEL CAN CAUSE THE BRAKE TUBING TO MOVE AND BE ABRADED BY THE BOLTS.
Risk
THIS CAN POTENTIALLY WEAR A HOLE IN THE BRAKE TUBING CAUSING A FLUID LEAK, RESULTING IN REDUCED BRAKE POWER.
