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.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This condition would result in increased stopping distances.
Remedy
Dealers will install the necessary air pressure protection valve.
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.
Risk and remedy
Risk
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
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.
The rear suspension axle retention plate can break under normal use, affecting axle alignment.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This condition could result in loss of rear axle stability affecting vehicle directional control and increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will remove and replace the axle retention clip plates on affected vehicles.
