Recall 79V-123: 1979 Iveco 200A 13FS
MAGIRUS DEUTZ A.G., WEST recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on May 22, 1979, covering about 63 vehicles.
The problem
The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems". Due to the use of a load proportioning valve in the brake system, the brake activation and release time in an unloaded condition, may not meet the requirements. In addition, a double check valve required on a two air tank system was inadvertently omitted.
The fix
The load proportioning valve will be removed and the system will be "replumbed" in order to meet safety standard requirements.
