The issue
On certain buses, the plunger within the Bendix E-10 brake valve could fracture during brake application, resulting in reduced brake pedal angle and travel. This could limit the driver’s ability to deliver full brake pressure, which could increase stopping distance, possibly causing a crash resulting in property damage and/or personal injury. Also, the brake plunger could become stuck and prevent the release of the service brake. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake valve plunger.
Description (français)
Sur certains autobus, le poussoir dans le robinet de freinage Bendix E-10 pourrait se briser lors du serrage des freins, ce qui diminuerait la course et l'angle de la pédale de freinage. Cela pourrait limiter la capacité du conducteur à produire la pression maximale possible du système de freinage, ce qui pourrait augmenter la distance de freinage et causer un accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. De plus, le poussoir du système de freinage pourrait se coincer et empêcher le desserrement du frein de service. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le poussoir du robinet de freinage.
