1998 SUTPHEN CHASSIS Recall

Campaign:

04V277000 on 06/16/2004

Component:

Service brakes, air:supply:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Manufactured:

01/08/1996 - 04/11/2004

Affected:

597

Defect:

On certain emergency/fire/rescue single and tandem axle chassis, the brake air lines may have been incorrectly routed.

Consequence:

If the primary system malfunctioned to the point of complete failure, the improper routing would cause the rear brakes to become disabled thus requiring the vehicle to stop using only the front brakes, which could increase the risk of a crash.

Correction:

Dealers will inspect and correct the routing of the brake lines. sutphen has inspected and corrected all vehicles involved in this campaign.

Notes:

Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
