Hazard: Safety systems that depend on the ECU (Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control, and Collison Mitigation System) may have diminished or lost functionality, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Safety systems that depend on the ECU (Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control, and Collison Mitigation System) may have diminished or lost functionality, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A brake chamber air leak may cause the parking brake to partially apply or slow to release, which can overheat the brakes and increase the risk of a fire.

Hazard: Safety systems that depend on the ECU (Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control, and Collison Mitigation System) may have diminished or lost functionality, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Park brake failure or unexpected park brake engagement while driving increases the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A PVM that fails to move into park can cause a vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Brake failure can increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Brake lights that do not operate as intended can cause confusion to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Unintentional vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: An air leak in the brake system can affect braking ability and increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Jammed electrical contacts in the brake light switch can cause the brake lights to remain illuminated, or fail to illuminate. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: As a result of a pressure switch air leak, the braking distance may be diminished and/or the parking brake may automatically engage. If the vehicle is equipped with an affected brake switch on both the front and the rear brakes and both parts fail, the brake lights may not operate. These conditions may increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: The dragging brakes may lead to high temperatures at the wheel end, increasing the risk of fire.

Hazard: If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Hazard: If the defective valve causes the brakes to drag and overheat, there is an increased risk of a wheel end fire.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION COULD REDUCE BRAKING ABILITY AND/OR LEAD TO LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF PRESSURE IS DELIVERED TO THE SERVICE BRAKE CIRCUITS, INTERMITTENT OR CONTINUED BRAKE APPLICATION MAY OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND POSSIBLY WITHOUT ILLUMINATING THE BRAKE LIGHTS. EITHER CONDITION MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE SLACK ADJUSTER HOUSING WERE TO BREAK, THE WHEEL BRAKE TO WHICH THE SLACK ADJUSTER IS ATTACHED WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE REDUCED BRAKING CAPACITY AND, IF MOUNTED ON THE STEER AXLE, THE VEHICLE COULD PULL TO ONE SIDE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.

Hazard: IF A BRAKE ON THE STEER AXLE REMAINS PARTIALLY APPLIED, VEHICLE STEERING ABILITY AND STABILITY CAN BEAFFECTED ON SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACES, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE DOUBLE CHECK VALVE BECOMES LODGED, IN THE EVENT OF A PRIMARY RESERVOIR FAILURE, AIR PRESSURE CAN LEAK PAST THE LODGED DOUBLE CHECK VALVE THEREBY DEPLETING THE SECONDARY RESERVOIR, CAUSING A REDUCED ABILITY FOR MODULATING THE EMERGENCY BRAKES.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE A DELAY IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES TO PARK THE VEHICLE AFTER THE OPERATOR PULLS THE DASH VALVE BUTTON. THESE CONDITIONS CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING, LEADING TO UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY, BRAKE DRAG, OR IN THE CASE OF LOSS OF PRIMARY CIRCUIT, INABILITY TO MODULATE THE SPRING BRAKES.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION WILL RESULT IN LEAKAGE AND CAUSE A DELAY IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKE WITHOUT WARNING, POSSIBLY LEADING TO UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Hazard: THE DELAYED PARKING BRAKE APPLICATION CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING, LEADING TO UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Hazard: THIS LACK OF PROPER LUBRICATION CAN CAUSE THE SWITCH TO STICK, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE STOP LAMPS STAYING ILLUMINATED OR FAILING TO EXTINGUISH PROMPTLY. IF THE STOP LAMPS FAIL TO PREFORM AS DESIGNED, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD BE THE RESULT.

Hazard: IF THE POWER SWITCH SHORTS, IT CAN RESULT IN AN OVER-CURRENT CONDITION IN THE ECU AND LEAD TO EXCESSIVE HEAT, SMOKE, AND POSSIBLE FIRE.

Hazard: THE METAL END PLATE CAN BECOME A HAZARDOUS PROJECTILE, POSSIBLY CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.

Hazard: SUCH BLOCKAGE MAY SLOW THE DELIVERY AND EXHAUST OF AIR TO AND FROM THE TRAILER BRAKES WHEN THEY ARE OPERATED BY THIS HAND-OPERATED TRAILER CONTROL VALVE.

Hazard: 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.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE AIR ABS ECU TO EXHAUST THE AIR AT THE AIR BRAKE MODULATORS FOR ONE OR MORE OF THE WHEELS.
