Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Problem: 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.
Risk: This could result in a loss of trailer brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will add a clamp to the brake hose.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: 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."
Risk: This cracking can lead to an open fracture in the brass nut, potentially allowing propane gas to leak.
Fix: Dealers will remove the swivel nut/pressure tap component and replace with a remedy kit.
