As a precaution, look carefully at the tops of boths front struts. Look for small cracks. This is one way the air escapes from the strut causing the pump to run and run and eventually burn out.

And with some early strut designs, lifting the wheel off the ground ( as to change a tire) will cause the upper strut seals to blowout. Again the pump will run to compensate the air loss. Too much to handle.
