What NHTSA recorded
The hydraulic brake hose that runs from the frame to the rearmost axle of the tandem bogie is not of sufficient length. In full articulation, with the forward axle up against the frame stops and the rear axle in the extreme downward position, the hose could pull apart.
Remedy
Dealer will inspect and relocate hose anchor fitting at frame to a position 2.5 inches lower to provide adequate hose length.
