79V188000 · Service Brakes, Air

Aug 15, 1979

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES HAVE THE FOLLOWING NON-COMPLIANCES: THE LOW AIR WARNING SIGNAL MAY NOT ACTIVATE UNTIL THE SERVICE RESERVOIR PRESSURE IS BELOW 60 PSI. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE RELEASE TIME MAY EXCEED 0.55 SECONDS AT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL, WHICH CONSTITUTES A NON-COMPLIANCE TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS".

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Not supplied

Remedy: DEALER WILL ADJUST THE PIN SWITCH TO THE PROPER PRESSURE TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121.

78V008000 · Service Brakes, Air:supply

Jan 16, 1978

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "MODULATED EMERGENCY BRAKING". THE "O" RINGS IN THE SHUTTLE VALVE MAY DEVELOP SLIGHT LEAKS IN COLD WEATHER. IN ADDITION, NEOPRENE WASHERS USED ON THESE "O" RINGS MAY EVENTUALLY EXPAND OR PUCKER IN COLD CLIMATES, MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THE SHUTTLE PISTON TO BECOME TRAPPED BY THE INNER-CIRCUMFERENCES OF THE WASHERS. THIS WOULD FORCE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO THE "ON" POSITION AND WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM BEING RELEASED.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Not supplied

Remedy: THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE TWO NEOPRENE WASHERS WITH GLASS FILLED TEFLON WASHERS THAT WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY COLD CLIMATES.
