Haldex Air Brake Actuator: Service brakes — air
Affects Haldex Air Brake Actuator · — — about 159K vehicles.
The hazard
If the diaphragm is not completely attached, there may be internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm, potentially trapping air pressure in the parking brake section. This air pressure in turn, if not vented, may prevent full release of the actuator unit, and may induce brake drag and may result in overheated wheelend service brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.
What to do
Haldex will notify their affected vehicle manufacturing customers, and their dealers will remove and replace the Haldex Life Seal Type 30/30 long stroke actuators with Haldex Gold Seal Type 30/30 long stroke actuators, free of charge.
