The issue

On certain school and transit buses, the Parker single check valve (SCV) that connects with the supply port of the Bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve may become excessively worn and eventually break apart. Pieces of the Parker SCV can become lodge inside the SR-7 valve, possibly causing either leakage out of the SR-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the SR-7 valve. This condition can cause a delay in the application of the parking brakes, the spring brakes not fully releasing or loss of isolation between the primary and secondary circuits. These conditions can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, brake drag, or in case of loss of primary circuit, inability to modulate the spring brakes. An unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the single check valve (SCV).

Description (français)

Sur certains autobus urbains et autobus scolaires, le clapet de non retour Parker qui est relié à l'orifice d'alimentation du modulateur de frein à ressort Bendix SR-7 pourrait devenir excessivement usé et finir par se briser. Des pièces du clapet de non retour Parker pourraient se loger à l'intérieur du clapet SR-7, ce qui pourrait causer une fuite au niveau du clapet SR-7 ou empêcher l'air de s'échapper adéquatement du clapet SR-7. En conséquence, un délai de serrage des freins de stationnement, un desserrage incomplet des freins à ressort ou une perte d'isolation entre le circuit primaire et le circuit secondaire peuvent se produire subitement, ce qui causerait un déplacement non voulu du véhicule, un freinage excessif ou, en cas de perte du circuit primaire, une incapacité à moduler les freins à ressort. Un véhicule sans surveillance qui se met en mouvement pourrait frapper une personne se trouvant à proximité ou endommager des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le clapet de non retour simple.
