What NHTSA recorded
On certain emergency/fire/rescue single and tandem axle chassis, the brake air lines may have been incorrectly routed.
Possible 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.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and correct the routing of the brake lines. Sutphen has inspected and corrected all vehicles involved in this campaign.
