What are the defects?
On affected vehicles there is insufficient strength in the material which makes-up the air compressor cylinder head gasket. Vibration caused by the air compressor piston’s back and- forth motion may cause cracks in the compressor’s cylinder head gasket. As a result, there is the possibility this could cause engine coolant or engine oil leakage into the main air pressure line.
What are the hazards?
In an extreme case, this might lead to air pressure loss. This could result in insufficient brake performance or failure of other systems, posing a potential accident hazard.
What should consumers do?
A letter will be sent to owners of affected vehicles.
