What is wrong
LABRIE ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 GARBAGE AND RECYCLING TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CERTAIN HALDEX QUICK RELEASE VALVES (QRVS). 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.
LABRIE WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE QRVS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 23, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT LABRIEPLUS CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-877-452-2743.

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.
