Defect description
TRUCK TRACTOR TO TRAILER HOSES INSTALLED ON THESE TRUCKS MAY NOT MEET ADHESION REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 106, HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSES. THE HOSE OUTER COVER AND BRAID DID NOT WITH STAND TENSILE FORCE REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE HOSE MAY FAIL CAUSING PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH IF ALL WARNINGS RELATED TO POSSIBLE HOSE FAILURE WERE TO GO UNHEEDED.
Manufacturer remedy

Manufacturer remedy
REPLACE INBOARD DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT HALVES WITH LONGER BELTS THAT ASSURE PROPER LOCKING ANGLE BETWEEN BELT WEBBING AND BUCKLE.
