Peterbilt 320: Brakes
Affects Peterbilt 320 · 2007 — about 0 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain trucks, the internal rubber check valve inside the Bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve can become deformed over time. The effect of this defect is intermittent and presents a potential delay or failure in applying the parking brakes; potentially resulting in a vehicle roll away. Should this occur, the unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a check valve repair kit. Note: Further evaluation revealed that only U.S. vehicles are affected.
