This causes a reduction in the brake line which reduces the volume of fluid passing through the line. consequence of defect: the reduced volume of fluid affects the efficiency of the brake system. Also the brake line may crack causing loss of fluid line . In either case, a longer stopping distance would be required when maximum brake efficiency is needed. Operation of a vehicle with damaged brakes could lead to a vehicle crash.
