Autocar WX: Suspension
Affects Autocar WX · 2003–2004 — about 10 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the air suspension height control valve may not be plumbed through an air pressure protection valve. In the event of a suspension air bag failure or rupture of the air line, there would be a loss of air pressure in the "B" system air reservoir that supplies air pressure for the front steer axle brakes. This condition would increase stopping distance of the vehicle and under certain conditions could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will install an air pressure protection valve in the "B" system air tank.
