Defect

On three-axle vehicles with rear two-axle drive, the breather hose on the spring-type parking brake chamber is incorrectly positioned. When driving through flooded roads or water crossings, water enters the spring chamber through the breather hose port, causing the spring to rust. The corroded spring may fracture, damaging the diaphragm and causing an air leak. In the worst case, the parking brake may apply unintentionally while the vehicle is in motion.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the parking brake chamber. If rust is found inside the spring chamber, replace the chamber assembly (piggyback type) with a corrected part. If no rust is found and the unit is within the specified periodic replacement interval, relocate the breather to the correct position. If no rust is found but the unit is outside the specified periodic replacement interval, periodic replacement is recommended.
