VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FOLDING CAMPERS. A FLEXIBLE BRAKE HOSE IS NOT CLAMPED IN A POSITION AWAY FROM THE TIRE, WHICH CAN LEAD TO CHAFFING OF THE HOSE CAUSING A LEAK OF HYDRAULIC FLUID.
THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRAILER BRAKES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL ADD A CLAMP TO THE BRAKE HOSE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FOLD DOWN TRAILERS WHICH USE GAS/ELECTRIC ABSORPTION REFRIGERATORS SUPPLIED BY NORCOLD. THE SWIVEL NUT WHICH IS AN INTEGRAL CONNECTION COMPONENT OF A PRESSURE TAP DEVICE HAS "STRESS CORROSION CRACKING."
THIS CRACKING CAN LEAD TO AN OPEN FRACTURE IN THE BRASS NUT, POTENTIALLY ALLOWING PROPANE GAS TO LEAK.
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE SWIVEL NUT/PRESSURE TAP COMPONENT AND REPLACE WITH A REMEDY KIT.
