The issue
On certain Volvo 760 GLE, due to brake warning valve end-plugs which do not meet specifications, there is a possibility that a slow leakage of brake fluid may occur in the electrical connection to the brake warning valve. Leakage of brake fluid through the electrical contact would result in a brake failure signal not being relayed to the driver.
Description (français)
Sur certaines Volvo 760 GLE, le manocontact avertisseur monté à l'extrémité du maitre-cylindre des freins ne satisfaisant pas aux exigences des normes de construction, le liquide de frein peut s'y infiltrer lentement et isoler les contacts électriques du voyant. De ce fait, le conducteur ne pourra pas être prevenu de la défaillance des freins.
