Recall 90V-083: 1989 Bankhead H-48, 1989 Bankhead Lowboy and 1 more
BANKHEAD TRANSPORTATION recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on May 3, 1990, covering about 132 vehicles.
The problem
Air brake hose layers separated at an applied load of 6.29 pounds rather than the FMVSS 106 minimum required load of 8.0 pounds.
The risk
Hose separation could cause air leakage and cause the breakaway valve to start applying trailer brakes and possibly the automatic spring brakes; such unexpected brake application could result in loss of control and an accident.
The fix
Install air brake hose that meets FMVSS 106 requirements.
Notes
System: air brake hose - FMVSS 106.
