On certain vehicles, the air tank brackets are not properly welded, and some of the welding may come off, which will make the brackets unstable. If this problem is left unattended, the air pipes connected to the air tanks may be damaged, and in the worst case, the damaged pipes would allow air to leak, which could result in reduced braking efficiency.
