Defect
Due to inadequate work instructions during assembly of the brake system on rear-tandem-axle heavy-duty trucks, the air pressure test connector for the brake system was installed in the wrong position on some vehicles. As a result, air pressure testing yields incorrect measurements, and the vehicles do not conform to the technical requirements of UN Regulation No. 13 (brake system standards).
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reinstall the air pressure test connector in the correct position.
