- The problem
- Vehicle description: class 8 heavy duty trucks. The air suspension control valve supply line was not plumbed through an air pressure protection valve. In the event of a failure, there would be loss of air pressure in the 'b' system air reservoir that supplies air pressure for the front steer axle brakes.
- The risk
- This condition would result in increased stopping distances.
- The fix
- Dealers will install the necessary air pressure protection valve.
