The issue
Certain vehicles equipped with certain Haldex brake system two and four port relay valves. The valve may stick open when a high-pressure application is released. When the valve sticks open, it can result in a total loss of air from either the service or the park brake system. The driver may lose braking ability under a service application, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace these valves.
Description (français)
Vise certains véhicules équipés de valves-relais Haldex à deux ou à quatre orifices .La valve peut rester coincée en position ouverte quand une application haute pression est ouverte. Si c'est le cas, il peut y avoir perte complète de la réserve d'air comprimé du système des freins de service ou du système des freins de stationnement. Il se peut donc que les freins de service cessent complètement de fonctionner, ce qui peut causer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les valves- relais visées.
