Defect, in the NHTSA record
An axle "no brake" condition could result from an eaton controller internal electrical malfunction. This condition may cause the anti-wheel lock valve solenoid to be continuously energized and prevent the brakes from being applied on one of the axles. As a result, the anti-wheel lock warning lamp is not activated.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the anti-wheel lock controller without charge to owner.

Suspension / Multiple Axle
Defect, in the NHTSA record
The tee bracket, which is mounted on the front axle of the bogie, may fail due to vibration brought on by road surface irregularities. Bracket failure would leave the tee bracket unsupported and cause broken hose connector fittings. This would result in automatic application of the spring emergency brakes.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
The dealer will replace the defective bracket with a redesigned version.

Defect, in the NHTSA record
The flex blade fans on the involved vehicles may develop cracks in the laminated stiffener as a result of fatigue during operation. If such a condition exists and the cracks go undetected, continued operation could cause pieces of the stiffener to break off.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealer will replace the original fan with a steel fixed blade fan, free of charge.
