What NHTSA recorded

These trucks were not built with inversion valves due to a programming error. The inversion valve provides modulated spring brake application during emergency braking when the "a" portion of the air brake system has failed.

Possible consequence

In an emergency situation, the brake system would not work properly increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will install an inversion valve in these vehicles.
