Certain fire trucks equipped with tandem rear axles and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) fail to meet the service brake release requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 - Air Brake Systems. The service brake release time is greater than the requirement and, if service brake release timing does meet the minimum requirements of the Standard, may result in less efficient braking performance and will prevent the vehicle from being moved in a timely fashion. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake hoses with larger diameter versions.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
