What NHTSA recorded

When brake air lines and battery electrical cables are routed through the angle brackets on the frame rails, the leaf spring may rub against the battery cables or air lines, causing fraying and eventually rupture.

Possible consequence

If the battery cables are sufficiently frayed, the cablesmay cause a short circuit and result in a fire. If the brake air lines areruptured or punctured, severely decreased braking ability may ensue.

Remedy

Reroute battery and air line hoses away from the rear transmission support spring.
