Posted on: 2009-08-20
Description
Labrie environmental group is recalling certain model year 2008 garbage and recycling trucks equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (qrvs).  The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.

Consequence
Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.

Corrective Action
Labrie will notify owners and replace the qrvs free of charge.  The safety recall began on october 23, 2009.  Owners may contact labrieplus customer service at 1-877-452-2743.
