PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR
Published April 12, 2013 · Recall initiated: April 11, 2013
What's the hazard
Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 ACX vehicles manufactured January 24, 2011, through December 4, 2012. These vehicles are equipped with Meritor axle assemblies that were built with disc brakes using MGM J24 series air brake chambers. In the affected axles, the brake chambers may leak pressure allowing the parking brake to drag when it is supposed to be released. Brake dragging could lead to overheated brake components.
What to do
Autocar will notify owners and will replace the actuators as needed, free of charge. The safety recall began on June 10, 2013. Owners may contact Autocar at 1-765-489-5499. Autocar's campaign recall number is A-1301.
