1989 BANKHEAD LOWBOY Recall
- Campaign:
- 90V083000 on 05/16/1990
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 10/31/1988 - 09/30/1989
- Affected:
- 132
- Defect:
- Air brake hose layers separated at an applied load of 6.29 pounds rather than the fmvss 106 minimum required load of 8.0 pounds.
- Consequence:
- Hose separation could cause air leakage and cause the breakaway valve to start applying trailer brakes and possibly the automatic spring brakes; such unexpected brake application could result in loss of control and an accident.
- Correction:
- Install air brake hose that meets fmvss 106 requirements.
- Notes:
- System: air brake hose - fmvss 106.
