2003–2005 Atc 6X6 Truck recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain crew and standard cab trucks equipped with bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
💥 The risk
This could delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Bendix, in conjunction with atc, is handling the remedy for this campaign (please see 07E-037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected SR-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge. The recall began on july 24, 2007. Owners may contact bendix at 440-329-9000 or atc at 888-282-4685.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
