## What is wrong

AUTOCAR IS RECALLING 183 MY 2008\-2009 WXLL HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 VEHICLES.  THE PARK BRAKE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT\-HAND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SET THE PARK BRAKE AT 70\-PSI DESCENDING PRESSURE ON THE PRIMARY AIR SYSTEM WHEN THE WORK BRAKE IS APPLIED.  IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE PARK BRAKES DO NOT APPLY AUTOMATICALLY AT 70\-PSI; INSTEAD, THEY APPLY AT 10\-PSI.  THE LINES BETWEEN THE PARK BRAKE VALVES MAY BE CROSSED, CAUSING THEM TO APPLY INCORRECTLY.


## What can happen

BRAKING CAPABILITY WOULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
