Prevost Cars on certain motor coaches equipped with bendix sr-7 brake valves, the check valve inside the valve cavity may not properly set, causing internal air leakage.
The short version
PREVOST CARS, INC. reported a problem with the conventional air. Here is what owners need to know.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR COACHES EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX SR-7 BRAKE VALVES, THE CHECK VALVE INSIDE THE VALVE CAVITY MAY NOT PROPERLY SET, CAUSING INTERNAL AIR LEAKAGE. IF THE CHECK VALVE DOES NOT PROPERLY SEAT, THE RESULTING LEAKAGE CAN CAUSE A DELAY IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES TO PARK THE VEHICLE AFTER THE OPERATOR PULLS THE DASH VALVE BUTTON.
THE DELAYED PARKING BRAKE APPLICATION CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING, LEADING TO UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VALVES AND REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE.
