Freightliner routing of the air hoses, within the air brake system, that control the brakes on the right hand side of the truck may have been done improperly.
The short version
FONTAINE MODIFICATION reported a problem with the supply hoses, lines/piping, and fittings. Here is what owners need to know.
THE ROUTING OF THE AIR HOSES, WITHIN THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM, THAT CONTROL THE BRAKES ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE TRUCK MAY HAVE BEEN DONE IMPROPERLY.
THE AIR HOSES ROUTED VERY CLOSE TO THE TURBO OUTLET CAN CAUSE THE LINES TO BLISTER, THEN MELT AND DEVELOP AIR LEAKS THAT MAY LEAD TO BRAKE LOCK UP INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW HOSES AND HEAT PROTECTIVE THERMAL WRAP FREE OF CHARGE.
