The issue
Certain vehicle may have been assembled with an incorrectly manufactured Bendix MV-3 dash control valve. If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged valve, thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing a reduced ability for modulating the emergency brakes. Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash, causing property damage, and/or personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the dash control valve.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules pourraient avoir été montés avec un robinet de commande Bendix MV-3 sur tableau de bord. Si le clapet de non retour double se coinçait, en cas de défaillance du réservoir d'alimentation, la pression d'air pourrait s'échapper au niveau du clapet bloqué, ce qui viderait le réservoir de service et diminuerait la capacité à moduler les freins d'urgence. Des distances de freinage plus grandes pourraient causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, le cas échéant, remplacer le robinet de commande sur tableau de bord.
