The issue
CORROSION MAY OCCUR IN THE FOOT BRAKE VALVE ADAPTER BORE AND PLUNGER DUE TO THE INTRUSION OF WATER AND ROAD SALTS. ACCUMULATED CORROSION AND WATER INTRUSION CAN RESULT IN THE PLUNGER STICKING, ESPECIALLY DURING COLD WEATHER SERVICE. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BRAKES TO REMAIN APPLIED AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: THE BRAKE VALVE ADAPTER WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED DESIGN ADAPTER WHICH HAS FULL FACE CONTACT WITH THE GASKET.
Description (français)
De l’eau et du sel routier peuvent s’infiltrer dans le robinet de commande au pied du frein et corroder la tige du robinet et l’alésage de l’adaptateur. La corrosion accumulée et l’eau infiltrée dans le robinet peuvent faire gripper la tige dans l’alésage, surtout par temps froid. Les freins pourraient alors demeurer appliqués, ce qui risque de causer un accident.Correction : L’adaptateur du robinet de frein devra être déposé et remplacé par un dispositif d’une conception nouvelle dont toute la face entre en contact avec le joint.
