Defect Summary
The air/spring actuated parking brake chambers manufactured by midland (date code 145b6k) were filled with the wrong lubrication. the improper lubricant causes the seals within the chamber to fail and results in loss of air. if air pressure drops to 55 psi the spring within the chamber will automatically apply the parking brake.

Dealers (or owners) will inspect the brake chambers for the suspect date code. if the chamber has this code, the parking brake chamber will be replaced.
