The problem

Truck tractor to trailer hoses installed on these trucks may not meet adhesion requirements of FMVSS 106, hydraulic brake hoses. The hose outer cover and braid did not with stand tensile force required by the standard. Consequence of defect: the hose may fail causing partial loss of braking capability which could lead to a crash if all warnings related to possible hose failure were to go unheeded.

The fix

Replace hose assembly if of the suspect date code.
