Recall 06V221000
Parking Brake › Conventional › Air — Oshkosh · reported 19 Jun 2006 · 139 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH SR-7 BENDIX BRAKE VALVES, THE CHECK VALVE INSIDE THE VALVE CAVITY MAY NOT PROPERLY SET, CAUSING INTERNAL AIR LEAKAGE. IF THE CHECK VALVE DOES NOT PROPERLY SEAT, THE RESULTING LEAKAGE CAN CAUSE A DELAY IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES TO PARK THE VEHICLE AFTER OPERATOR PULLS THE DASH VALVE BUTTON.
The risk
THE DELAYED PARKING BRAKE APPLICATION CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING, LEADING TO UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VALVES AND REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON JULY 1, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT OSHKOSH AT 920-233-9244.
