The hazard
Issue: Certain vehicles were built with an incorrect T-fitting in the air brake system. The fitting could fail and cause an air leak. This could cause the parking brake to suddenly apply. Note: If the parking brake applies, a warning light would appear and a buzzer would sound. Safety Risk: This could cause the vehicle to stop suddenly, which could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an inspection of the air brake system. If an incorrect T-fitting is found, it will be replaced.
