The defect
Certain fire trucks equipped with holland/neway air suspension systems, a transverse beam castings may fracture under normal loads. if a casting breaks when the vehicle IS traveling on a roadway there IS the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension?s transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
The risk
This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
