The short version

KOVATCH MOBILE EQUIPMENT reported a problem with the supply check valve. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

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.

WHY IT MATTERS

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.

WHAT TO DO

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), free of charge.
