The air system service relay supply line on the #2 axle is incorrectly installed into the front air system reservoir. Consequence of defect: if front service brakes were to fail, the secondary, or emergency braking system for the #2 axle, would not work. This would lead to a complete loss of braking capability which may cause an accident. Corrective action. Reinstall the air hoses into the rear air system reservoir.
System: brakes, emergency air. Vehicle description: heavy-duty f series trucks equipped with a 72 inch rearwalking beam suspension.
