- The problem
- Kme is recalling 122 my 2006-2007 predator and severe service pumper, aerial and tda fire trucks. A check valve was omitted from the secondary supply port of the bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valve.
- The risk
- As a result, an air leak in the secondary or primary system may result in the park brakes inadvertently applying, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will add a check valve to the secondary supply port of the sr-7 spring brake modulating valve and will also repair the sr-7 valve by applying a check valve repair kit as required for the bendix safety recall (please see 07e037). The recall began on october 3, 2007. Kme has completed 68 of the 123 trucks and will complete the repair work by september 30, 2008 free of charge. Owners may contact kme at 1-570-669-5154.
