DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Posted on: 2008-08-07
Description
Bendix is working with the vehicle manufacturers to recall 353 bendix t-14 service brake chambers used on some bendix adb22x air disc brakes to be installed on steer axles of some trucks. The lubricant used as an assembly aid for the t-14 service chambers does not evaporate as intended and can migrate between the pushrod base and the rubber diaphragm. This can cause the pushrod base to become misaligned and lodged in the chamber body after a brake application, resulting in the brake not fully releasing.
Consequence
If a brake on the steer axle remains partially applied, vehicle steering ability and stability can beaffected on slippery road surfaces, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
Each vehicle manufacturer will provide a remedy plan and notification schedule. The affected vehicles will be repaired without charge to the owners. The recall began on july 22, 2008. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or bendix toll-free at 1-866-610-9709.
