Description

AUTOCAR IS RECALLING 183 MY 2008-2009 WXLL HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 VEHICLES. THE PARK BRAKE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SET THE PARK BRAKE AT 70-PSI DESCENDING PRESSURE ON THE PRIMARY AIR SYSTEM WHEN THE WORK BRAKE IS APPLIED. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE PARK BRAKES DO NOT APPLY AUTOMATICALLY AT 70-PSI; INSTEAD, THEY APPLY AT 10-PSI. THE LINES BETWEEN THE PARK BRAKE VALVES MAY BE CROSSED, CAUSING THEM TO APPLY INCORRECTLY. BRAKING CAPABILITY WOULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
