If this happens, the air brake line could be damaged and cause the parking brakes to apply suddenly.\nNote: This recall only affects fire trucks equipped with certain 180-series Meritor axles.\n\nSafety Risk:\nA parking brake that self-applies while driving could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, if a following driver does not recognize when a vehicle ahead is braking, there could also be an increased risk of a crash.\n\nCorrective Actions:\nKME will notify owners by mail and will arrange for an inspection of the drive pinion. It will be replaced, if necessary.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":null,"part_number":null,"units":9,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Groupe motopropulseur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Problème :\nSur un petit nombre de camions de pompiers, le pignon d'entraînement de l'essieu arrière pourrait présenter un défaut qui pourrait entraîner sa rupture.
