The air dryer can become overpressurized causing the air dryer cartridge to separate from…
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the air dryer separates from the base, the cartridge can separate sufficiently enough to cause personal injury or property damage.
Remedy
Dealers will equip air systems with a pressure relief valve to be located between the compressor and the air dryer. This pressure relief valve IS intended to vent if excessive pressure develops in the air dryer.
A connector in the wiring where the tilt hood mounted lamps attach to the vehicle wiring harness was built without sealing plugs. Moisture, road salt or other contaminants can enter the connection resulting in crossed circuits, shorts or corrosion of the wiring of the connector.
Risk and remedy
