## What is wrong

Certain vehicles may exhibit a fatigue fracture of the rear axle, right\-hand brake pipe. Should the pipe crack a slow brake fluid leak would result causing a soft pedal and an eventual decrease in rear braking capability. Should the pipe break there would be a sudden drop in the brake pedal and a loss of rear brake performance.  Correction: A brake pipe bracket will be installed on affected vehicles.
