Recall 2011191

The issue

Certain vehicles fail to meet the service brake release requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 - Air Brake Systems. The quick release air valve (in the gladhand connection) may have inadvertently been omitted during vehicle assembly. This could allow the service brake release timing to slightly exceed the threshold established in the Standard, which could result in less efficient braking performance. Correction: Dealers will install a quick release air valve.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences en matière de desserrage des freins de service de la Norme de Sécurité des Véhicules Automobiles du Canada 121 - Systèmes de freinage à air comprimé. La valve de desserrage rapide  (dans le raccord de tête d'accouplement) pourrait avoir été oublié lors du montage du véhicule. Cela pourrait permettre au temps de desserrage des freins de service de dépasser légèrement le seuil établi dans la norme, ce qui pourrait diminuer le rendement des freins. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un robinet à air à relâchement rapide.
