The issue
THE SPRING BRAKE AIR CHAMBERS ARE POSITIONED TOO CLOSELY TO A BOLT ON THE SUSPENSION. IF CONTACT BETWEEN THE CHAMBER AND THE BOLT OCCURRED WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE, DAMAGE TO THE PARKING BRAKE AIR CHAMBER COULD RESULT. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE SPRING BRAKES TO AUTOMATICALLY APPLY. SHOULD THIS OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD POSE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO TRAFFIC SAFETY. 2FV8HYKY9EV221499 - VEHICLE LOCATED IN ONTARIO
Description (français)
Sur ces véhicules, le cylindre pneumatique du frein de stationnement est placé trop près d'un boulon faisant partie de la suspension. Le boulon risque de perforer le cylindre s'il le heurte suffisamment fort, ce qui peut entraîner l'application automatique du frein de stationnement. Si cet accident se produit sur la route, il peut constituer une sérieuse menace à la sécurité routière.
