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.
