The problem

On certain fire trucks built with a steerable auxiliary axle and equipped with certain meritor-wabco brake system two and four port relay valves, the valve may stick open when a high-pressure application is released.

The risk

Dealers will replace these valves. Owner notification began january 1, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact emergency one at 352-861-3795.
