For welfare vehicles wheelchairs can be brought in, the tail pipe located at the rear of the main silencer does not have sufficient strength, and its flange can crack from repeated long time idling. If such damage is left unattended, the tail pipe may break and interfere with the brake pips, and in the worst case, the brake pipe could get punctured causing brake fluid to leak, which could result in reduced brake efficiency.
