Details

What's wrong: On certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.

Why it matters: This could cause a delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Four winds is working with freightliner and bendix to repair these vehicles (please see 07V302 and 07E037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected sr-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge.
