Summary of Issue

If a trailer is inspected with the air bags deflated but the trailer is equipped with a \"Surelock Suspension\" and the bars are engaged, should the vehicle still be in an OOS condition?

Justification or Need

There are carriers that have suggested that the OOS condition should not apply on these types of trailers if the bars are engaged.

Request for Action

I am requesting clarification from industry as to the intent and condition of the vehicle when it is operated under these conditions.
