Suspension / Front / Springs / Air Suspension / Lines and Fittings
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This condition would result in increased stopping distances.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install the necessary air pressure protection valve.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The rear most axle of the tandem axle set could have inoperable brakes on one or both wheels because the brake s-cam was incorrectly installed.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This condition could cause increased stopping distance increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect the brake system and repair the s-cam assembly if found reversed.

96V095000Received . 771 units.
Service Brakes, Air
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The traction solenoid exhaust can be obstructed due to inadequate drainage and a build-up of road contamination between the mounting bracket and the solenoid housing. The obstructed exhaust prevents the relay valve control air pressure from venting after a differential braking traction event.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This condition would keep the rear axle service brakes applied without any brake pedal movement by the driver increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will remove the suspect valve and install a new valve that has a modified solenoid housing which will allow for sufficient drainage and a new valve mounting bracket with increased height to reduce entry of contamination.
