The issue
On certain trailers, brass fittings used in the air brake system may not have been manufactured to specs. The threaded end could separate, resulting in a loss of air pressure causing the brakes to engage suddenly. This sudden brake application presents the potential for rear impact from following vehicles as the brake lights will not be activated during this event. Correction: Dealers will replace all air brake system brass fittings.
Description (français)
Sur certaines remorques, des raccords en laiton utilisés dans le circuit de freinage à air comprimé pourraient ne pas avoir été fabriqués conformément aux spécifications. L'extrémité filetée pourrait se détacher, ce qui causerait une perte de pression d'air qui ferait que les freins se serreraient soudainement. Ce serrement soudain des freins pourrait provoquer un impact arrière par des véhicules, car les feux de freinage ne s'allumeraient pas à ce moment. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer tous les raccords de laiton du circuit des freins à air comprimé.
