Jan 8, 2000
Summary
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH ARE MOUNTED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO ALLOW MOISTURE WITHIN THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM TO COLLECT INSIDE THE SWITCHES. IF THE MOISTURE IN THE SWITCHES FREEZES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS MAY NOT FUNCTION AND THE CRUISE CONTROL MIGHT NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.
Risk
IF THE SWITCHES FREEZE, THE RESULTS COULD BE NO BRAKE LIGHTS TO WARN FOLLOWING VEHICLES AND AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE IF THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE AS EXPECTED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED.

Campaign 03V137000
Service Brakes, Air
Mar 4, 2003
Summary
ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS, A BRASS FITTING CONNECTS THE DOUBLE CHECK VALVE TO THE BRAKE RELAY VALVE. WITH CERTAIN INPUTS TO THE VEHICLE, THE WEIGHT OF THE CHECK VALVE ON THE FITTING CAN CAUSE THE ASSEMBLY TO RESONATE. THE SUBJECT VIBRATION CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE STRAIN LEVELS IN THE FITTING, WHICH COULD EVENTUALLY FATIGUE AND FAIL.
Risk
IF THE FITTING BREAKS, THE REAR SERVICE BRAKES WILL CEASE TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING, RESULTING IN AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
