The defect
On certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
The risk
This could cause a delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Four winds IS working with freightliner and bendix to repair these vehicles (please see 07v302 and 07e037). bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected SR-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge. owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712, bendix at 1-440-329-9000 or four winds at 1-574-266-1111.
