KALMAR INDUSTRIES USA, INC. recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Feb 4, 2002, covering about 181 vehicles.
The problem
On certain terminal tractors built with a steerable auxiliary axle and equipped with certain meritor-wabco brake system two and four port relay valves, the valve may stick open when a high-pressure application is released.
The risk
When the valve sticks open, it can result in a total loss of air from either the service or the park brake system. The driver may lose braking ability under a service application, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace these valves. Meritor wabco is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact meritor wabco at 800-535-5560 or kalmar at 903-759-5490.
