The issue
On certain vehicles, the hand operated trailer brake control may have a partially blocked delivery port, which can cause the trailer brakes to be slow to apply an release when operated by the hand control valve. If this hand control valve is used while the vehicle is in motion, the slow brake application or release may contribute to loss of control of the vehicle causing a collision, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: The dealer will replace the defective valves.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, l'orifice de refoulement du robinet de frein à main de la remorque peut être partiellement bloqué, ce qui peut ralentir le serrage et le desserrage manuels des freins de la remorque. Si on utilise la commande de frein à main alors que le véhicule est en marche, le retard de réaction des freins peut contribuer à une perte de contrôle et causer un accident qui peut entraîner des dommages matériels, des blessures ou des pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les robinets de freinage défectueux.
