Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems is recalling approximately 11,444 Foot Brake Valve Assemblies, specifically the Medium-Duty Vehicle Pedal A model with part number G901288. The recall was initiated because the pedal plunger, which connects the brake pedal to the brake valve, can become disconnected if the driver fully applies the brake and then releases it rapidly. If this disconnection occurs, the vehicle's brakes will fail to operate, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. Vehicle manufacturers will install a specialized pedal restraint bracket to prevent this issue from occurring.
If the brake pedal plunger disconnects during rapid release, the driver will lose the ability to apply the brakes. This total loss of braking power can lead to a vehicle crash and potential injuries.
