The issue
On certain vehicles, the delivery port inside Bendix trailer hand control brake valves may be partially blocked due to a problem during the molding process. Such a blockage may slow the delivery and exhaust of air to and from the trailer brakes when they are operated by this hand control valve which may result in delayed trailer brake application and release. Correction: The dealer will inspect and replace defective valves.

Correction : Le concessionnaire devra inspecter et remplacer les robinets de freinage à main défectueux.
