Defect Summary	The rear brakes may not release as quickly as specifications require. certain trucks were equipped with an incorrect size air brake line installed between the rear brake relay valve and the axle tee fitting. the condition is not in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard 121, air brake systems.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	The dealer will replace any incorrectly sized hoses with the correct part at no charge.
Notes	Vehicle description: heavy trucks.system: service brakes; brake hose.consequences of defect: the incorrect hose diameter may delay rear brakerelease and cause brake system imbalance. loss of vehicle control may occur andcould lead to an accident.

Defect Summary	Front axle air brake chamber is attached with a clamp and bolt assembly that may not have been positioned correctly, and may chafe against the front brake hose. chafing could result in an air leak and loss of air to the front brakes.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	The dealer will install new fittings on the frame end of front brake hose and replace hoses with a longer part. the fittings will be correctly located and the brake chamber clamp will be positioned correctly.
Notes	Vehicle description: heavy trucks.system: service brakes; air brake chamber clamp and bolts.consequences of defect: an air leak could result in loss of vehicle controlpossibly resulting in an accident.

Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	Air brake hoses will be inspected and, if defective, will be replaced without charge.
Notes	Vehicle description: trucks.system: brakes; air hose assembly.consequences of defect: this condition could cause loss of braking capability,possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
STEERING - LINKAGES - LINK - DRAG - CONNECTION

Defect Summary	Steering components may interfere with each other and could lead to separation of steering linkage. the draglink, a component in the steering linkage that transmits turning movements to the wheels, may have a clamp on the axle end which has been incorrectly positioned on the inboard side of the draglink.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	Dealer will inspect the front steering for the misplaced clamp and relocate it correcty. if damaged, the draglink will be replaced. dealer will cor rect the clearance of the suspension radius rods to prevent interference, if necessary.
Notes	Vehicle description: heavy trucks.system: steering; front axle draglink clamp and bolt.consequences of defect: the draglink may contact suspension components (radiusrod anchor and drive bracket assembly) resulting in increased steering effort,bending in the draglink, and possible separation of the draglink. this wouldcause loss of steering control and possibly an accident.
SUSPENSION - FRONT - SPRINGS - LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY - U-BOLT, LEAF SPRING TO AXLE

Defect Summary	The u shaped bolts that connect the springs and spring spacers to the front axle may not have been installed properly. this condition could allow the axle to shift and could degrade the steering characteristics of the vehicle.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	The dealer will inspect and replace damaged nuts or u bolts, or tighten the bolts and nuts to specifications. it may be necessary to insert additional spacers in the springs.
Notes	Vehicle description: heavy trucks.system: power train; front axle u-bolts.consequences of defect: shifting of the front axle relative to the frontsprings could result in loss of vehicle control and could cause a vehicle crashwithout warning.

Defect Summary	Line pressure surges occur when the transmission is in high gear lockup due to a plumbing error. consequence of defect: line pressure surges could cause bodily harm through erratic fire hose delivery action.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	Rework plumbing to prevent line pressure surges.
Notes	System: water lines.vehicle description: fire trucks equipped with allison ht 740d fire truck special transmission water pumps with high gear lockup.
