Defect
On medium-duty trucks equipped with air brakes, improper tightening of the relay valve mounting bracket during assembly has left some vehicles missing one or more of the bracket's clamping bolts. Continued use in this condition allows driving vibration to dislodge the bracket, damaging the air lines and causing an air leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the mounting bracket clamping bolts. If any bolts are missing, install and torque them to the specified value.
