Defect Summary
Because the air brake chambers are located above the rear axle housing, the air hose, which fits on top of the chambers, could come in contact with the underside of the body.
Corrective Action
Air chambers will be repositioned in order to lower the fittings. In addition, axle stops will be installed (with the exception of vehicles with 5900 mm wheel base) in order to ensure minimum upward travel of the axle.
