MAN announced a problem with the Various HGV & PSV Chassis affecting a total of 5,922 vehicles.
Processing bores of the manually operated brake valves have been closed using balls. In individual cases, it may occur that the balls are not secured properly in the housing and may come loose. For this reason, the valves may bleed air and activate the parking brake or anti-jack knife brake.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check if an affected valve is fitted. For affected valves check, the crimping is correct and fit caps to the valves where the crimping is not correct. Affected existing spare parts stock is to be returned. The vehicles supplied with new valves must also be checked and fitted with caps as necessary.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest MAN dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
