Service brakes, air:supply:check valveMay 5, 2009 · NHTSA campaign 09V151000 · 17 vehicles

Problem: Terex is recalling 17 my 2009 dfpr, dfpr sf, dfpr ca, dfp hd, lfpr and hft85-3 trailers equipped with haldex air brake system control valve. The rubber diaphragm used inside the quick release valve (qrv) may delaminate and may cause leakage levels past and/or through the diaphragm in excess of permissible specifications, or could cause a restriction in the air flow, thereby effecting pressure delivery to the service brakes and not allow the service brakes to release.

Risk: Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.

Fix: Terex is working with haldex and will inspect and replace all effected qrvs free of charge. Please see 09e-004. The recall is expected to begin during june 2009. Owners may contact haldex at 1-620-365-6911 or terex at 1-425-556-6588.
