Issued November 28, 1990
Issue
Hazard description
On certain trucks, the battery cables and air lines may have been routed and clipped in such a way that downward movement of the transmission may cause the transmission rear support spring to pinch the battery cables and brake air lines. This could rupture the air lines causing loss of air and decreased vehicle braking or damage the battery cables insulation causing a short circuit and risk of fire. Correction: The routing of the air lines and battery cables will be checked and rerouted if required. Any damaged air lines or battery cables will be replaced.
