What's wrong

The problem

NON-DOT "PUSH-ON" TYPE HOSES WERE USED IN CERTAIN ACCESSORY NON-BRAKE AIR SYSTEMS, WITHOUT ISOLATION OF THAT SYSTEM BY A CHECK VALVE, PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE, OR OTHER MEANS OF SYSTEM SEPARATION.

The risk

TRUCKS DO NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 106; THERE COULD BE ANUNCHECKED LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE IN THE BRAKES THAT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OFSERVICE BRAKES AND TRUCK CONTROL.

What to do

The fix

INSTALL PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE(S) IN THE AIR SYSTEM TO ISOLATE ALL ACCESSORY AIR LINES FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

SYSTEM: AIR BRAKE HOSES / FMVSS 106VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: COMVENTIONAL AND COE TRUCKS.
