What NHTSA recorded

Capacity is recalling my 2008 yard tractors equipped with bendix mv-3 dash control valves. The molded valve body has an incorrect core pin in the injection mold causing the valve body to be oversized in the double check valve area. This condition can allow the rubber double check valve to become lodged in the body opening under certain circumstances.

Possible consequence

If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged double check valve thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing reduced ability for modulating the service emergency brakes increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the bendix mv-3 dash control valves free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact capacity at 903-759-0610.
