Known issues on the 1985 L1113. One recall on the federal record for the 1985 L1113 applies to certain heavy-duty trucks equipped with full air brakes. There, the steel tube carrying air to the front axle brake chamber sat close enough to the front shock absorber to rub against it, and over time that contact could wear through the tube so pressure escaped whenever the brakes were applied. Dealers rerouted or replaced the tube as needed. Air line routing, brake chamber service and the related torque values and specifications are part of what this manual covers.
