The issue
FATIGUE CRACKS COULD APPEAR AROUND THE MOUNTING BOLTS IN THE BASE PLATE LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BRAKE AIR DRYER ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE BASE PLATE SEPARATING FROM THE AIR DRYER CAUSING AIR TO EXHAUST CONTINUALLY FROM THE VEHICLE'S AIR COMPRESSOR MAKING THE COMPRESSOR UNABLE TO SUPPLY AIR TO THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM. THE DEFECT WILL NOT CAUSE THE AIR SYSTEM TANKS TO EXHAUST THEIR SUPPLY OF AIR. ALSO, THE BASE PLATE MAY FALL OFF AND LAND ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A ROAD HAZARD.CORRECTION: DRYERS WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONES CONTAINING A REDESIGNED BASE PLATE.
