04V277000

Date: 2004-06-07. Systems: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR.

Defect: ON CERTAIN EMERGENCY/FIRE/RESCUE SINGLE AND TANDEM AXLE CHASSIS, THE BRAKE AIR LINES MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY ROUTED.

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.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

As communicated previously, an issue discovered in DiagnosticLink version 8.14SP1 was fixed with the release of 8.14SP3 on August26. The issue related to incorrect parameter data being sent to the server for some Chassis ECUs.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
  • NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
