## Discrepancy

LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID, THE BRAKE CALIPER WAS INSTALLED ON 16 MARCH 2022. THE LINE WAS NOT TOUCHING BUT APPARENTLY WAS INSTALLED WITHOUT SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE. AFTER THE INCIDENT ON 6 APRIL 2022, THE LINE STILL WAS NOT PHYSICALLY TOUCHING BUT THE TIRE HAD APPARENTLY BULGED AND CONTACTED THE LINE.
