What is wrong
MERITOR WABCO IS RECALLING 4,520 QUICK RELEASE VALVES (QRV) MANUFACTURED BY HALDEX BRAKE PRODUCTS FROM MAY 27 TO OCTOBER 15, 2008, AND BEAR CORRESPONDING PRODUCTION DATE CODES OF 148 THROUGH 289.

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.
