DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CHAMBER
Posted on: 1979-10-12Description
The piston in the antilock valve could stick due to exposure to high concentrations of fluid contaminants that may collect in the trailer braking system. Consequently, no air would be delivered to the braking chambers normally supplied by this valve. This would resuult in a no brake condition on the affected axles. This failure would constitute a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, air brake systems.
Consequence
Corrective Action
The suspect valve will be inspected and, if necessary, replaced without charge to owner.
Notes
Vehicle description: semi-trailers, van type. System: service brakes; antilock valve. Consequences of defect: loss of braking capability, without prior warning,could result in a vehicle accident. Note: any fluids should be drained from the trailer brake system daily and nofluids should be added directly into the trailer brake line
