The issue
On certain trucks, the quick release valve (QRV) cover may not have been welded correctly during manufacturing process and may become loose or separate from the valve body. If this occurs, air pressure may not be supplied to the front brakes during brake application. The rear brakes will continue to function. Reduction in braking efficiency could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Daimler authorized repair facilities will inspect and if necessary replace the quick release valve.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions, le couvercle de la valve de desserrage rapide pourrait ne pas avoir été soudé correctement pendant la fabrication et se desserrer, ou se détacher de la valve. Si cela se produisait, l'air pourrait ne pas être envoyé aux freins avant lors du serrage des freins. Les freins arrière continueraient de fonctionner. Une diminution de l'efficacité des freins pourrait augmenter les distances de freinage, causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les installations de réparation autorisées Daimler devront inspecter et, si nécessaire, remplacer la valve de desserrage rapide.
