The issue
FATIGUE CRACKS MAY DEVELOP IN THE FIFTH WHEEL SUPPORT PLATFORM WHICH MAY EVENTUALLY RESULT IN TRAILER SEPARATION. ALSO, THE AIR BRAKE LINE MAY ABRADE WHERE THE LINE PASSES THROUGH THE FRAME CROSSMEMBER, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERVICE BRAKE FAILURE AND APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES. CORRECTION: FATIGUE CRACKS WILL BE WELDED AND SUPPORT PLATFORM REINFORCED. ALSO, A PROTECTIVE COVERING WILL BE INSTALLED ON AIR BRAKE LINE TO PREVENT ABRASION.
Description (français)
Des fissures de fatigue peuvent se développer dans la plate-forme de support de la sellette et causer la séparation de la remorque. De plus, la conduite d'air des freins peut s'user à l'endroit de la traverse de châssis et la perte de pression provoquera le serrage des freins à ressort.
