Reported Jun 8, 19981,534 vehicles affectedDORSEY TRAILERS, INC.Built Mar 15, 1997 – May 27, 1998

The defect

Vehicle description: platform trailers and dollies. the tubing installed in the air brake system on the platform trailers was not recommended for use with the tubing fittings used in the air brake system and the tubing installed on the dollies does not have the proper labeling and minimum burst strength. this does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 106, "brake hoses."

The risk

If the tubing in the supply (emergency) line bursts or becomes disengaged from a fitting, the trailer can experience a panic stop without prior warning to the driver. if the tubing in the control (service) line bursts, the trailer can be operating without service brakes.

The remedy

Dealers will inspect the brake system tubing and replace the noncompliant tubing installed in the brake system.
