NHTSA recall 08V414000
Service Brakes, Air · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles 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: Newmar is working with daimler trucks and bendix to repair this vehicle (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.
