Defect
On vehicles equipped with an onboard dedicated truck air system, the charge pipe routed between the air compressor and the compressed air dryer is improperly routed. When the vehicle crosses a bump or travels over rough terrain, the resulting stress may damage the pipe. Compressed air then leaks, activating a warning lamp. Continued operation with the leak may reduce braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the charge pipe with a corrected part.
