Reason for concern

ACTUATORS MAY LOSE FUNCTIONALITY

Reason for recall

On some TRISTOP� actuators the chambers may not have been correctly assembled and the load from power spring and pressure is not fully taken. Under certain circumstances the parking side and the service sides of the actuator could separate and the actuator could lose functionality. Ultimately this could lead to a loss of braking functionality and/or brake failure. Critical applications are vehicles such as city buses or garbage collection vehicles (subject to a high parking brake frequency). Long haul applications are not considered critical and thus do not require an exchange.
