Defect
Improper heat treatment of the aluminum air tank that supplies compressed air to the brake system may cause surface cracks to develop. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate through the tank wall, causing compressed air to escape. In the worst case, braking force becomes insufficient.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles. Replace any two-piece aluminum air tank with a corrected part.
