| Description of the problem | Driving west on interstate 80 in pennsylvania ran over a severe pothole then when pulling into a parking area noticed a loud air leak from the rear which rendered the vehicle undrivable. Read that others had this issue on the same vehicle and am concerned that this is an issue if the air pressure drops below 65psi the vehicle will come to a sudden stop endangering occupants and people/property surrounding the incident. The following is from an internet forum alerting other to the hazard "after calling freightliner directly they admitted they spec'ed the wrong airbags on the rear! So hopefully your dealer replace both sides with a new part loc# w0711f021 i think is the right number i have the tag but it has about 5 different #'s on it!
