United States 96V163000
HPA MONON TRAILER, INC.
The problem
AIR BRAKE FITTINGS AND AIR BRAKE HOSES ON THE BRAKE ACTUATORS CAN BREAK BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT VERTICAL CLEARANCE UNDER THE AIR RESERVOIR.
Risk
SUCH A BREAK WOULD CAUSE THE TRAILER TO STOP ABRUPTLY BECAUSE THE SPRING BRAKE WOULD BE ACTUATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
What owners should do
ALL 12 VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REMEDIED BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE AIR RESERVOIR AND FITTINGS AND HOSES ON THE BRAKE ACTUATORS.
