2008 Miles XS40ST recalls

Recall 08V-479: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Sep 22, 2008 · 104 vehicles affected · MILES ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Problem: Miles electric vehicles (Mev) is recalling 104 my 2008 xs40st low speed trucks. Manufacturing and assembly inconsistencies with the brake tee and assembly under-torquing or over-torquing of the bleeder screws have produced instances of visible brake fluid seepage at the brake tee and at the bleeder screws.

Risk: The driver may experience reduced brake performance when applying and maintaining force on the brake pedal and, over time, the capacity to brake will gradually deteriorate, forcing the driver to use higher than expected forces. Continued loss of brake fluid above certain amounts would lead to the brake being inoperative, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the brake system and replace the brake tees. If necessary, wheel calipers or wheel cylinders will be replaced. The recall began on november 8, 2008. Owners may contact mev at 1-310-390-4890.
