RJ-1459-0

The air charge pipe, which supplies compressed air to the brake air tank, does not have sufficient strength, and therefore it may crack from vehicle body vibration etc. If the vehicle continues to be driven with the cracked pipe, air leak may occur, which would result in reduced braking efficiency.
