    Service Brakes, Air / Disc / Chamber

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    The antilock system may swell due to exposure of the internal piston to high concentrations of fluid contaminants. This may cause the piston to stick in the valve, which fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems".

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

17. 78E025000Received 15 Sep 1978. 1,726 units.

    Service Brakes, Air / Disc / Chamber

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Piston sticking in the valve can occur due to exposure to high concentrations of fluid contaminants which may collect in the braking system. As a result, no air would be delivered to the brake chambers supplied by the anti-lock valve. Lack of air to the air chambers will result in a "no brake" condition on the affected axle. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems".

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Dealer will replace the suspect valves free of charge.

    Products named: Eaton.

    Report filed by EATON, INCORPORATED. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 10 Jan 1979.

    Service Brakes, Air / Antilock / Control Unit/Module

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    The involved anti-lock system contains an electrical component that is not of eaton specifications. Also, an opening of a solder connection exists between the printed circuit board and another electrical component. This can cause the anti-lock valve solenoid (coiled current conducting wire) to be continuously energized. The brakes in the axle, being controlled by the affected anti-lock system, may become inoperative.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Defective controllers will be replaced without charge to owners.

    Products named: Eaton.
