Affected:

Defect:
Vehicle description: trailers equipped with bendix antilock brake system (abs) electronic control module (ecu). the abs on these vehicles does not contain the industry standard power line carrier (plc) chip required to provide an abs malfunction signal to the towing vehicle as required by fmvss no. 121, "air brake systems."
Consequence:

Campaign:
02V139019 on 09/02/2002
Component:
Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
Manufactured:
02/29/2000 - 03/30/2001
Affected:
884
Defect:
On certain trailers equipped with bendix sr-5 trailer spring brake valve assemblies, the molded rubber face of the inlet/exhaust valve (i/e valve) component of the affected valves can separate from the valve's metal insert. air can be trapped by a separated i/e valve causing it to balloon and block the exhaust passage of the trailer spring brake circuit.
Consequence:
This condition can result in the affected vehicles being unable to apply the trailer parking/emergency spring brakes during parking in the event of a trailer supply line failure. unintended rollaway could occur, possibly resulting in personal injury or death to the vehicle occupant or any bystanders.
Correction:
Bendix will notify customers and provide a repair kit and installation instructions free of charge. 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 440-329-9000 or brenner at 1-800-558-9750.
Notes:
Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
