Details

MFR Campaign Number: NR (Not Reported)

Defect Summary: Equipment description: meritor wabco pneumatic anitlock brake system (abs) valve packages produced between september 3 and october 26, 2001. the bolts used to assemble steer and drive axle abs valve packages together and a traction control valve inlet fitting were torqued below specification.
Consequence Summary: Bolts torqued below specification will not reliably prevent air leakage at the affected abs valve package interface joints once the component begins normal vehicle operation. if air leaks develop at any of the abs valve package interface joints, brake system pressure reductions could occur during braking or normal operation with units equipped with the traction control option, potentially extending stopping distances, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
