Recall number 00V019001 · Recall details
Service brakes, air
- What is wrong
- The traction solenoid exhaust can be obstructed due to inadequate drainage and a build-up of road contamination between the mounting bracket and the solenoid housing. The obstructed exhaust prevents the relay valve control air pressure from venting after a differential braking traction event.
- Risk
- This condition would keep the rear axle service brakes applied without any brake pedal movement by the driver increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove the suspect valve and install a new valve that has a modified solenoid housing which will allow for sufficient drainage and a new valve mounting bracket with increased height to reduce entry of contamination.

- What is wrong

- Risk
- This condition could result in loss of rear axle stability affecting vehicle directional control and increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove and replace the axle retention clip plates on affected vehicles.
