What the hazard is
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 to do
A letter will be sent to owners of affected vehicles.
Defect
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.
