What NHTSA recorded

On certain heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.

Possible consequence

This could delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install a check valve repair kit for the affected sr-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge. The recall began on september 14, 2007. Owners may contact autocar at 765-489-5499.
