Recall 2013214

The issue

Certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers fail to conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 – Air Brake Systems. The brake booster valve may have been installed incorrectly during vehicle assembly. As such, the brake actuation timing slightly exceeds the allowable limit, which could result in less efficient braking performance. In the event of an emergency stop, the vehicle's stopping distance would be increased, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will correct the air brake booster valve installation.

Description (français)

Certaines remorques de récupération de liquide de forage ne sont pas conformes aux exigences de la Norme de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada 121 intitulée « Systèmes de freinage à air comprimé ». Le robinet du servofrein pourrait avoir été mal installé au cours de l'assemblage du véhicule. Par conséquent, la synchronisation d'actionnement des freins dépasse légèrement la limite acceptable, ce qui pourrait diminuer le rendement des freins. En cas d'arrêt d'urgence, la distance de freinage augmenterait, ce qui pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront corriger l'installation du robinet du servofrein.
