KJ-0288-0

For the front brake chambers of the vehicles with full air brake system, the seal guides that hold down the airtight seals do not have sufficient strength, and they may break from vibration at braking. If a broken piece is caught at the air valve and the vehicle continues to be driven with it, in the worst case, air may leak from the air valve at braking, which could cause the stopping distance to be longer than a driver anticipates.
