Dans la plupart des contextes d’exploitation, les fuites sont prévues et ne compromettent pas de prime abord la sécurité. Elles peuvent toutefois réduire la marge de sécurité si l'on se fie au circuit de frein d’un train durant une période prolongée. Une baisse critique de pression au cylindre de frein causée par des fuites pourrait entraîner un mouvement incontrôlé. 2, record 1, French, - pression%20au%20cylindre%20de%20frein
