Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

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.

Possible 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.

Remedy

Install air brake hose that meets fmvss 106 requirements.
