Mertz Manufacturing plastic junction connections may have been installed in the air brake circuits.
The short version
Mertz Manufacturing, LLC reported a problem with the conventional air. Here is what owners need to know.
Plastic junction connections may have been installed in the air brake circuits. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
If a plastic connector fails, a loss of service brakes will occur or the emergency brakes will activate unexpectedly. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
Mertz has notified owners and will provide metal brake line connections to replace the plastic connections, free of charge.
