- Campaign:
- 00V232006 on 09/25/2000
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:antilock
- Affected:
- 154
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks built with bendix air abs with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (ecu), there have been reports of unwanted abs activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed abs wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.
- Consequence:
- This condition could cause the abs ecu to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. this could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.
- Correction:
- Bendix is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. dealers will replace the abs ecu. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bendix at or kalmar/magnum at 1-903-759-5490.
