THE BRAKE CHAMBER MOUNTING STUDS CAN LOOSEN OR PULL THROUGH DUE TO FATIGUE IN THE BRAKE CHAMBER HOUSING CAUSED BY FOUNDATION BRAKE CHATTER. Remedy: DEALERS WILL CHANGE THE BRAKE LINING MATERIALS, REPLACE THE WING BRACKET WITH A REINFORCED BRACKET AND INSTALL BRAKE CHAMBERS WITH REINFORCED CHAMBER HOUSING AND LARGER (1/2") MOUNTING STUDS.
THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER MAY NOT TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH OVER CENTER TO ASSURE THAT IT REMAINS IN THE PROPER POSITION ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY WHILE PARKED. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER WITH A LEVER THAT REQUIRES A 25 LB. EFFORT TO RELEASE.
AIR SYSTEM BLOCKAGE IN THE AIR DRYER OCCURS DEGRADING THE MOISTURE REMOVING CAPABILITIES OF THE DRYER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN A COLD ENVIRONMENT AND MOISTURE ACCUMULATES AND FREEZES IN THE AIR DRYER OR IN THE LINE BETWEEN THE DRYER AND THE AIR SYSTEM RESERVOIR. THE AIR DRYER CAN BECOME OVER PRESSURIZED CAUSING THE AIR DRYER CARTRIDGE TO SEPARATE FROM THE MOUNTING BASE. Remedy: DEALERS WILL EQUIP AIR SYSTEMS WITH A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE TO BE LOCATED BETWEEN THE COMPRESSOR AND THE AIR DRYER. THIS PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IS INTENDED TO VENT IF EXCESSIVE PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE AIR DRYER.

NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ROCKWELL WABCO SYSTEM SAVER 1000 AIR DRYERS. IN AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS REQUIRING A LARGE VOLUME OF AIR TO PASS THROUGH THE DRYER IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THE DRYER CANNOT REMOVE ALL OF THE MOISTURE FROM THE AIR. IN A COLD ENVIRONMENT THIS MOISTURE MAY FREEZE AND EFFECTIVELY BLOCK THE AIR LINES DOWNSTREAM OF THE DRYER RESULTING IN AN AIR PRESSURE BUILD UP IN THE DRYER. THIS AIR PRESSURE MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE DRYER CARTRIDGE TO SEPARATE FROM THE DRYER. THE SEPARATED CARTRIDGE MAY CAUSE BODILY INJURY TO ANYONE STANDING NEAR THE DRYER AT THE INSTANT OF SEPARATION. CORRECTION: PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE DRYER OUTLET PORTS ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.
THESE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH 12" AND 16" FRONT BRAKE CHAMBERS MOUNTED ON ROCKWELL FOUNDATION BRAKES. THE BRAKE CHAMBER MOUNTING STUDS MAY LOOSEN OR PULL THROUGH DUE TO FATIGUE IN THE BRAKE CHAMBER HOUSING CAUSED BY FOUNDATION BRAKE CHATTER. CORRECTION: BRAKE LINING MATERIALS WILL BE CHANGED. THE WING BRACKET WILL BE REPLACED WITH A REINFORCED BRACKET AND BRAKE CHAMBERS WITH REINFORCED CHAMBER HOUSINGS AND LARGER MOUNTING STUDS WILL BE INSTALLED.
NOTE: VEHICLES LOCATED IN SASKATCHEWN. THE BRAKE CALIPER TRAVEL MAY BE LIMITED BY INTERFERENCE WITH THE MAIN SUPPORT MEMBER (Z-BAR SPRING) OF THE SUSPENSION WHEN THE PADS BECOME WORN. SUCH INTERFERENCE COULD PREVENT FULL BRAKE TORQUE APPLICATION ON THE DRIVE AXLE. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND MEASURED FOR CLEARANCE TO ALLOW FULL BRAKE PAD WEAR. MODIFIED REPLACEMENT CALIPERS WILL BE INSTALLED IF NECESSARY.
