What NHTSA recorded

On certain crew cab trucks equipped with hydraulic brakes, the hydraulic brake lines from the chassis mounted anti-lock brake system (abs) modulator valve can be damaged by interference with the cab mounted auxiliary heater duct.

Possible consequence

This could result in extended braking distance, increasing the risk of a crash.
