The short version
Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. reported a problem with the conventional air. Here is what owners need to know.
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.
Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
Kovatch will notify owners and will replace the actuators as needed, free of charge.
