What is wrong
HALDEX IS RECALLING 23,587 QUICK RELEASE VALVES (QRV) EQUIPPED IN AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND SOLD AS REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT FOR HEAVY TRUCKS AND TRAILERS. THE RUBBER DIAPHRAGM INSIDE THE QRV MAY EXPERIENCE DELAMINATION RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT LEVELS OF AIR PRESSURE LEAKAGE PAST AND/OR THROUGH THE DIAPHRAGM, OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BUBBLE IN THE DIAPHRAGM WHICH MAY TRAP AIR PRESSURE IN THE VALVE AND NOT ALLOW THE SERVICE BRAKES TO RELEASE.
What can happen
MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
EACH VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WILL PROVIDE A REMEDY PLAN AND NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WILL BE REPAIRED WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE OWNERS. HALDEX WILL NOTIFY OWNERS WHO PURCHASED THE SUBJECT QRVS AS AFTERMARKET AND REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 16, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT THEIR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER OR HALDEX AT 1-816-891-2470.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
