- Campaign:
- 96V095000 on 06/10/1996
- Component:
- Service brakes, air
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1994 - 01/31/1996
- Affected:
- 771
- Defect:
- The traction solenoid exhaust can be obstructed due to inadequate drainage and a build-up of road contamination between the mounting bracket and the solenoid housing. the obstructed exhaust prevents the relay valve control air pressure from venting after a differential braking traction event.
- Consequence:
- This condition would keep the rear axle service brakes applied without any brake pedal movement by the driver increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Correction:
- Dealers will remove the suspect valve and install a new valve that has a modified solenoid housing which will allow for sufficient drainage and a new valve mounting bracket with increased height to reduce entry of contamination.
