Summary

THESE TRUCKS WERE EQUIPPED WITH DEFECTIVE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SWITCHES IN THE LOAD SPAN TAG SYSTEM. WHEN A MALFUNCTION IN THIS SYSTEM OCCURS, AXLE TO PAVEMENT PRESSURE INCREASES WHEN VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN AN UNLOADED CONDITION.

Remedy

THE EXISTING CONTROL SWITCH WILL BE REPLACED WITH A THREE-POSITION SWITCH WHICH, BY USE OF A NEUTRAL POSITION, WILL PREVE NT PRESSURE BUILDUP. A NEW OPERATION LABEL WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED.
