Recall 2017319

The issue

On certain vehicles, the required check valve may not have been installed in one of the ports of the spring brake modulation valve. In the event of a rapid loss of air pressure in the secondary system, the missing check valve could cause a similar rapid loss of pressure in the primary system, which may lead to a sudden application of the parking brakes. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will inspect and the check valve will be installed if needed.

Description (français)

Dans certains véhicules, le clapet antiretour requis pourrait ne pas avoir été installé dans l'un des orifices de la soupape de modulation de frein à ressort. En cas de perte de pression d'air rapide dans le système secondaire, l'absence du clapet antiretour requis pourrait causer une perte de pression rapide semblable dans le système principal, ce qui pourrait provoquer une application soudaine des freins de stationnement. Cela pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les installations d'entretien autorisées de Daimler Trucks North America devront inspecter les véhicules touchés, ainsi qu'installer un clapet antiretour au besoin.
