Service Brakes, Air / Supply / Check Valve
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain trailers equipped with bendix sr-2, sr-4, and sr-5 trailer spring brake valve assemblies, the molded rubber face of the inlet/exhaust valve (i/e valve) component of the affected valves can separate from the valve's metal insert. Air can be trapped by a separated i/e valve causing it to balloon and block the exhaust passage of the trailer spring brake circuit.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record

Unintended rollaway could occur, possibly resulting in personal injury or death to the vehicle occupant or any bystanders.
