Recall Notes:
Possibility air brake hoses which extend from the front wheel brake chambers to the frame rail could be improperly routed or of incorrect length. In either situation, the brake hose may contact the front tire or sheet metal on a right-or left-hand turn. The brake hose, if contacted repeatedly, will chafe at the contact point resulting in an air leak. This condition could eventually cause a rupture of the brake hose resulting in a loss of braking action. (correct by rerouting hoses or replace if incorrect length. )
