Recall 2015044

The issue

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 - Air Brake Systems. These vehicles were built with insufficient air tank reserve capacity, which may provide an insufficient air supply to properly operate the brakes during repetitive brake applications. This may result in reduced braking performance which could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will install a bigger air tank to increase air reservoir capacity.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 121 – Systèmes de freinage à air comprimé. Ces véhicules ont été construits avec des réservoirs d'air comprimé à volume insuffisant, ce qui pourrait ne pas fournir assez d'air pour faire fonctionner adéquatement les freins lors d'une application répétée de ceux-ci. Cela pourrait diminuer le rendement des freins, ce qui pourrait entraîner une collision. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront installer un plus gros réservoir d'air comprimé, afin d'augmenter le volume d'air disponible.
