Hazard

In the air tank drain cock for the braking system, inadequate management of the machining tools for the drain pin has resulted in insufficient crimping and fixation of the drain pin O-ring. When the drain operation is performed, the O-ring may come off, causing air leakage and the parking brake to remain engaged. Continued use in this condition may cause overheating of the brake system and, in worst cases, lead to fire.

Remedy

All vehicles: Replace the drain cock with a replacement part.
