## What is wrong

THE FRONT AIR BRAKE HOSE MAY CONTACT THE INNER FENDER ON  THE LEFT AND/OR RIGHT SIDES OF SOME TRUCKS. IN SOME INSTANCES, THE BRAKE HOSE    MAY RUB THROUGH, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE UPON BRAKE APPLICATION.                                                                                      CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: BRAKE HOSE MAY RUB THROUGH CAUSING AIR PRESSURE LOSS      WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY. A REDUCTION OF BRAKING      ABILITY AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE IS REQUIRED COULD RESULT IN A   VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.


## The remedy

INSTALL NEW BRAKE CHAMBER SUPPORT BRACKETS, BRAKE LINE        ELBOWS, AND AIR BRAKE HOSES, AS NECESSARY.


## Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH TILT HOODS, 7000\# FRONT AXLE AND AIR BRAKES.SYSTEM: FRONT BRAKE HOSE.
