• Recall 31979 [USA]: This condition can cause a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button. these conditions can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, brake drag, or in the case of loss of primary circuit, inability to modulate the spring brakes.

• Recall 2007264 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, the internal rubber check valve inside the bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valve can become deformed over time. The effect of this defect is intermittent and presents a potential delay or failure in applying the parking brakes; potentially resulting in a vehicle roll away.

• Recall 2007265 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain school and transit buses, the parker single check valve (scv) that connects with the supply port of the bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valve may become excessively worn and eventually break apart. Pieces of the parker scv can become lodge inside the sr-7 valve, possibly causing either leakage out of the sr-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the sr-7 valve. This condition can cause a delay in the application of the parking brakes, the spring brakes not fully releasing or loss of isolation between the primary and secondary circuits. These conditions can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, brake drag, or in case of loss of primary circuit, inability to modulate the spring brakes. An unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the single check valve (scv).
