Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 78V227000 by Fruehauf Corporation. Includes 663 affected units, BRAKES:VALVE SOLENOID, component: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

The piston in the antilock valve could stick due to exposure to high concentrations of fluid contaminants that may collect in the trailer braking system. Consequently, no air would be delivered to the brake chambers normally supplied by this valve. This would result in a "no brake" condition on the affected axle(s). This failure would constitute a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems".

Corrective Action

Vehicle will be inspected and, if necessary, antilock air valves will be replaced without charge.
