| 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. |
