RJ-1416-1

The air brake hoses of the spring type parking brake system are not properly routed, and they may interfere with the air springs. If this problem is left unattended, the hoses may be damaged, and in the worst case, an air leak could occur, which could cause the parking brake to be activated.

Case Number:

Make/model:

Issued: 
Fri, 2005-04-15
Component: 
brake hoses
Affected: 
4 238
Correction: 
The air brake hoses should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units, and the hoses routing should be changed.
