AIR BRAKE FITTINGS AND AIR BRAKE HOSES ON THE BRAKE ACTUATORS CAN BREAK BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT VERTICAL CLEARANCE UNDER THE AIR RESERVOIR.
Safety risk
SUCH A BREAK WOULD CAUSE THE TRAILER TO STOP ABRUPTLY BECAUSE THE SPRING BRAKE WOULD BE ACTUATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Manufacturer remedy
ALL 12 VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REMEDIED BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE AIR RESERVOIR AND FITTINGS AND HOSES ON THE BRAKE ACTUATORS.
