NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
NON-DOT "PUSH-ON" TYPE HOSES WERE USED IN CERTAIN ACCESSORY NON-BRAKE AIR SYSTEMS, WITHOUT ISOLATION OF THAT SYSTEM BY A CHECK VALVE, PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE, OR OTHER MEANS OF SYSTEM SEPARATION.
The risk
TRUCKS DO NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 106; THERE COULD BE ANUNCHECKED LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE IN THE BRAKES THAT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OFSERVICE BRAKES AND TRUCK CONTROL.
The remedy
INSTALL PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE(S) IN THE AIR SYSTEM TO ISOLATE ALL ACCESSORY AIR LINES FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM.
Notes
SYSTEM: AIR BRAKE HOSES / FMVSS 106VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: COMVENTIONAL AND COE TRUCKS.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
