The short version
Autocar, LLC reported a problem with the parking brake. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles have a synchronization valve with Autocar part number A7660006-001 and any of the following cab configurations where the park brake button (sometimes referred to as the park brake valve) is located to the right of the RH drive steering wheel: RH Drive, dual drive/dual sit, and dual drive/RH stand. If the operator inadvertently or erroneously attempts to release the park brake without first firmly applying the service brake, the park brake will subsequently engage, at any speed and likely unexpectedly to the operator.
The park brake may engage unexpectedly at any speed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the synchronization valve with one that has a lower opening pressure, free of charge.
