Summary

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM "ABS". THE WIRING FROM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT WAS CONNECTED TO THE WRONG WHEEL SENSOR.

Consequence

SHOULD THE ABS WIRING BE CROSSED, IT WOULD RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT DEGRADATION IN BRAKING STABILITY. A SIGNAL WOULD BE SENT TO THE WRONG BRAKE CHAMBER WHEN A BRAKE IMBALANCE IS DETECTED INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ABS WIRING AND PROPERLY CONNECT THE WIRES, IF NECESSARY.
