The defect
A SERVICE BRAKE HOSE AND A SPRING BRAKE HOSE ARE NOT OF SUFFICIENT LENGTHS WHICH COULD CAUSE ONE OR BOTH HOSES TO SEPARATE FROM THE END FITTINGS DURING FULL ARTICULATION.
The risk
IF THE BRAKE HOSE FAILS, IT WILL RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. IF THE SPRING BRAKE HOSE FAILS, THE SPRING BRAKE WILL ENGAGE AND THE TRUCK WILL COME TO A SUDDEN STOP.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THESE VEHICLES FOR HOSE LENGTHS AND ANY OUT OF SPECIFICATION HOSES WILL BE REPLACED.
