Armor weakens cab mounts.

Front and rear cab mounts and the rear cab mount structure on the Freightliner M915 family of vehicles (FOV) have been stressed with the application of the addon armor kit. The cab could separate from the chassis or steering loss could occur if this problem isn't fixed.

TACOM SOUMs 06-022 and 07-005 addressed this problem and gave repair guidance per the TM and an engineering solution, so this isn't a new issue. Bill since there's cab damage that those repairs can't correct, mechanics must use the procedures given in TACOM SOUM 07-011 immediately. Then make weekly checks to ensure the cab is holding up.
