Par conséquent, le becquet arrière pourrait être trop haut et bloquer le feu de freinage surélevé. Ce problème pourrait également entraîner une mauvaise tenue de route.\n\nRisques pour la sécurité :\nUn feu de freinage surélevé bloqué pourrait empêcher les autres de réaliser que le véhicule est en train de freiner. De plus, une mauvaise tenue de route pourrait entraîner une perte de contrôle.
