The short version
Pierce Manufacturing reported a problem with the parking brake. Here is what owners need to know.
If the ball valves are left in the closed position, air pressure can build up on the parking brake circuit side and prevent the application of the spring park brakes when the parking brake valve is activated in the cab.
This may allow the vehicle to unexpectedly roll, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will remove the quarter turn ball valves and connect the glad hand signal hose into the primary air tank, free of charge.
