Record by record
13 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

How it is said to have ended
- says it was fixed1
- says it came back1
- says it did not fix it1
- result not stated3
A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

What the documents say to do
Parking brake linings worn out prematurely, parking brake does not hold (PBR single-shoe drum-in-hat)Confirm
