Newmar Corporation on certain class a, diesel pusher, motor homes built on freightliner chassis, the wheel well liners being installed on the front tire wells, required the air line assembly on the ifs to be moved to allow the attachment of the liners to the chassis.
The short version
NEWMAR CORPORATION reported a problem with the foundation components hoses, lines/piping, and fittings. Here is what owners need to know.
ON CERTAIN CLASS A, DIESEL PUSHER, MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS, THE WHEEL WELL LINERS BEING INSTALLED ON THE FRONT TIRE WELLS, REQUIRED THE AIR LINE ASSEMBLY ON THE IFS TO BE MOVED TO ALLOW THE ATTACHMENT OF THE LINERS TO THE CHASSIS. DURING THIS PROCESS, IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT IF THE AIR BAGS ARE COMPLETELY DEFLATED, THE TIRE COULD RUB THE AIR LINE SUPPLYING AIR TO THE BRAKES.
THIS COULD CAUSE THE LINE TO FAIL RESULTING IN A LOSS OF BRAKES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL DETACH THE SUPPORT BRACKET FOR THE AIR LINE THAT SUPPLIES THE BRAKE AND MOVE THE BRACKET INBOARD 3" AND REATTACH BY WELDING, free of charge.
