Chronology :
On Sept. 13, 2022 an OEM trailer manufacturer; a purchaser of axles from a Haldex axle customer, reported an on-road incident that appeared to involve the subject component. The incident appeared to involve the retaining clip installation described above.
On Sept. 15, 2022 a second incident was reported that appeared unrelated based on the initial information received. The axle manufacturer also provided photographs of apparent clip misalignment on un-installed units and reported that eight brake assemblies from incoming inventory appeared misaligned. Haldex immediately began investigating the issue and implemented containment actions in their manufacturing plant, including suspending brake shipments on Sept. 15, 2022.
On Sept. 19, 2022 Haldex began sending inspection teams to the trailer manufacturer locations and several trailer manufacturer customer locations to inspect assemblies. Haldex
has inspected approximately 3800 units to date and confirmed 8 with misaligned brake spring retaining clips. Haldex
also sent inspection teams to the axle manufacturing facility to inspect and contain any improperly assembled products. Haldex
confirmed that even with a loose brake pad, overall braking function on the trailer was still effective.
On Sept. 21, 2022 Haldex confirmed that the second incident reported by the trailer manufacturer did in fact involve an improperly assembled brake retaining clip. This was confirmed by onsite inspection of the subject trailer showing that the brake retaining clip and retainer bar were missing. Haldex
โs investigation indicated that even though overall trailer braking function was minimally impacted, a loose retainer bar or retaining clip could hit other vehicle components, and may result in the retaining clip or retainer bar hitting the roadway and creating a road hazard.
On Sept. 21, 2022, Haldex determined that an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety resulting from the improperly assembled clip could not be ruled out.

Dear Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Haldex has determined that an assembly defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Haldex ModulT Gen II air disc brakes (ADB).
The brake pad retaining assembly on a very small percentage of Haldex ModulT Gen II air disc brakes (ADB) produced in Monterrey, MX, between February 11, 2021, and September 16, 2022, may contain an improperly installed retaining clip.
An improperly installed spring bracket may enable the pad retainer and spring bracket to detach from the brake and allow the brake pad to loosen. A loose brake pad may reduce brake effectiveness and may cut a tire valve resulting in a flat tire,
and eventually cause damage to the brake pad or wheel. A detached spring bracket or pad retainer may come in contact with other vehicle parts or fall into the roadway, creating road debris and a potential traffic hazard increasing the risk of a crash.
Haldex will remedy the defect without charge. To remedy, the brake(s) need to be inspected by a trained technician and, if necessary, repaired. The inspection involves a visual check to determine whether the spring bracket is properly seated.
Repair, if needed, involves adjusting the pad retainer slightly to allow the spring bracket to seat properly. Inspection and repair are relatively simple and are conducted without removing the wheel or lifting the vehicle, with minimal impact to service.
This repair takes approximately 5 minutes per brake to perform. This repair will be done free of charge. The remedy is available immediately.
Please contact a Haldex representative at 1-800-643-2374 at your earliest convenience to arrange an inspection, repair, or training, if required. Instructions on performing the inspection and repair (if necessary), and the procedure and forms for submitting reimbursement claims for repair costs are attached to this notification.
You may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE., Washington, DC 20590; or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov, if you believe that:
(A) The manufacturer, distributor, or dealer has failed or is unable to remedy the defect without charge.
(B) The manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy the defect without charge within a reasonable time, which is not longer than 60 days after the ownerโs first tender to obtain repair following the earliest repair date specified above.

Country : United States Chronology :
On Sept. 13, 2022 an OEM trailer manufacturer; a purchaser of axles from a Haldex axle customer, reported an on-road incident that appeared to involve the subject component. The incident appeared to involve the retaining clip installation described above. On Sept. 15, 2022 a second incident was reported that appeared unrelated based on the initial information received. The axle manufacturer also provided photographs of apparent clip misalignment on un-installed units and reported that eight brake assemblies from incoming inventory appeared misaligned. Haldex immediately began investigating the issue and implemented containment actions in their manufacturing plant, including suspending brake shipments on Sept. 15, 2022. On Sept. 19, 2022 Haldex began sending inspection teams to the trailer manufacturer locations and several trailer manufacturer customer locations to inspect assemblies. Haldex has inspected approximately 3800 units to The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-081 Page 3 date and confirmed 8 with misaligned brake spring retaining clips. Haldex also sent inspection teams to the axle manufacturing facility to inspect and contain any improperly assembled products. Haldex confirmed that even with a loose brake pad, overall braking function on the trailer was still effective. On Sept. 21, 2022 Haldex confirmed that the second incident reported by the trailer manufacturer did in fact involve an improperly assembled brake retaining clip. This was confirmed by onsite inspection of the subject trailer showing that the brake retaining clip and retainer bar were missing. Haldexโs investigation indicated that even though overall trailer braking function was minimally impacted, a loose retainer bar or retaining clip could hit other vehicle components, and may result in the retaining clip or retainer bar hitting the roadway and creating a road hazard. On Sept. 21, 2022, Haldex determined that an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety resulting from the improperly assembled clip could not be ruled out. Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Haldex, their representative(s), or other trained technicians will inspect
and, if necessary, repair the improperly assembled spring bracket assembly. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : A remedied component has the retainer bar fully seated in the notch with the retaining clip fully protruding through the retaining clip window on the retainer bar.
Haldex has identified the assembly plant at which the subject ADBs were produced and has implemented corrective actions and mistake-proofing in the assembly process to ensure that future shipments are properly assembled. Corrective action at the assembly plant was implemented on September 19, 2022. Recall Schedule :

On Sept. 13, 2022 an OEM trailer manufacturer; a purchaser of axles from a Haldex axle customer, reported an on-road incident that appeared to involve the subject component. The incident appeared to involve the retaining clip installation described above. On Sept. 15, 2022 a second incident was reported that appeared unrelated based on the initial information received. The axle manufacturer also provided photographs of apparent clip misalignment on un-installed units and reported that eight brake assemblies from incoming inventory appeared misaligned. Haldex immediately began investigating the issue and implemented containment actions in their manufacturing plant, including suspending brake shipments on Sept. 15, 2022. On Sept. 19, 2022 Haldex began sending inspection teams to the trailer manufacturer locations and several trailer The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-081 Page 3 manufacturer customer locations to inspect assemblies. Haldex has inspected approximately 3800 units to date and confirmed 8 with misaligned brake spring retaining clips. Haldex also sent inspection teams to the axle manufacturing facility to inspect and contain any improperly assembled products. Haldex confirmed that even with a loose brake pad, overall braking function on the trailer was still effective. On Sept. 21, 2022 Haldex confirmed that the second incident reported by the trailer manufacturer did in fact involve an improperly assembled brake retaining clip. This was confirmed by onsite inspection of the subject trailer showing that the brake retaining clip and retainer bar were missing. Haldexโs investigation indicated that even though overall trailer braking function was minimally impacted, a loose retainer bar or retaining clip could hit other vehicle components, and may result in the retaining clip or retainer bar hitting the roadway and creating a road hazard. On Sept. 21, 2022, Haldex determined that an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety resulting from the improperly assembled clip could not be ruled out. Description of Remedy :

Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : The brake pad retaining assembly on certain Haldex air disc brakes (ADB) may contain an improperly installed retaining clip. If the retaining clip is improperly installed, the retainer bar may move and fail to retain the brake pads fully within the brake assembly, especially under road vibration conditions. Brake pads do not detach from the brake assembly but a loose brake pad, retainer bar, or retaining clip may come in contact with other nearby wheel components, and the retaining clip or retainer bar may fall into the road.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : Under certain road use conditions, an improperly installed retaining clip may enable the retainer bar and retaining clip to detach from the brake and may allow the brake pad to loosen. A loose brake pad may slightly reduce brake effectiveness, and may cut a tire valve resulting in a flat tire, and eventually
can cause damage to the brake pad or wheel. A detached retaining clip or Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-081 Page 2 retainer bar may come in contact with other vehicle parts and may fall into the roadway, creating road debris and a potential traffic hazard.

It is important to take care when using chemicals and/or cleaning tools (e.g. knife, brush, etc.) to avoid damage or displacement of hoses, seals and other components. Proper personal safety equipment must be worn. Recycling
When replacing the disc brake or parts, the components removed must be recycled and destroyed in compliance with applicable environmental legislation, regulations and provisions.
Cleaning
For the disc brake to function correctly it is important to ensure it is kept clean and normal movement is not restricted by mud, ice, snow, objects, etc. Damage of this type may cause direct brake failure, malfunction or shortening of the service life of the disc brake.
Painting
The disc brake can be finished with paint that has trade approval for this purpose (automotive paint). Care must be taken to ensure that the paint layer does not cause damage or restrict the natural movement or operation of the disc brake. All contact surfaces, friction and rubber parts must therefore be protected or masked.
The following areas must not be painted:
All bellows, reset shaft protection plug, complete brake pads, the swept area of the rotor, the disc brake mounting surfaces to axle/brake chamber and all bolted connections. Shot-blasting
If the vehicle is shot-blasted, all rubber parts and pads on the disc brake must be protected. The brake chamber must be fitted (or any protective parts that have a similar sealing function). The shipping seal fitted to the brake chamber opening on a new disc brake does not provide adequate protection during shot-blasting.
The disc brake must be thoroughly cleaned after blasting to ensure that its natural movement is not obstructed by remnants of shot-blasting material. Check seals and rubber parts to make sure they have not been damaged. Also refer to the axle manufacturerโs instructions.
Installation
The disc brake must not be installed or treated in such a way that exposes it to normal thermal,
mechanical or chemical influences that can cause reduced braking effect or damage to vital components in the brakes. These influences/damages may result
in a shortened service life for the disc brake and its components, reduced brake effect or at worst total brake failure. 5 ModulT Gen II

The adjustment unit, which is actuated B by the mechanism lever (A), extends the thrust plate and the inner brake pad (B) against the rotor, which then causes the caliper (C) to slide laterally, so that the outer brake pad (D) contacts the rotor. The caliper moves laterally on slide pins (E). In wheel positions where the D disc brake also serves as a parking brake, the unit is actuated by a spring brake chamber (F). A Functional description. E F E Slide pins and spring brake chamber. 14 Technical Manual ModulT Gen II Functional Operation Actuation / Release During a brake application the mechanism lever is actuated by operation of the brake chamber. The inner section lever presses the cross bar axially towards the rotor. The force is transferred from the cross bar via adjustment sleeves, adjustment screws and thrust plate to the inner pad. As the brake pad contacts the rotor the caliper moves laterally on the slide pins to allow the outer pad to contact the rotor. Upon release, a return spring forces the cross bar back to its rest position, allowing the design clearance between pad and rotor to be achieved. Automatic Adjustment Adjustment is based on the clearance principle. The braking sequence is split into three phases: design clearance, excess clearance, and elasticity phase. These phases take place when the brakes are activated and released. The mechanism lever activates the adjuster unit by means of a guide pin. The clearance between the guide pin and the slot in the adjuster unit housing determines the clearance between the brake pads and the rotor. The adjuster unit in turn rotates the adjustment sleeve which is threaded around the adjustment screw. The adjustment screws are prevented from rotating the adjuster sleeves by guides on the thrust plate. The second adjustment sleeve is synchronized and driven by a gear mechanism which consists of gear wheels attached to each of the two adjustment sleeves plus an intermediate gear wheel. Application During and through the forward stroke, the design clearance between pads and rotor is measured. The clearance between the guide pin which is attached to the mechanism lever and the slot in the adjuster unit housing determines the magnitude of the forward stroke before the adjustment process begins. 15 ModulT Gen II Technical Manual As the stoke continues if there is any clearance between the rotor and the brake pad when the thrust plate has moved axially through the design clearance the adjust unit rotates the adjuster sleeves. The adjustment screws are held in position by thrust plate and are therefore prevented from turning. Rotation of the adjuster sleeves in relation to the adjustment screws removes a percentage of the measured excess clearance. Within the adjuster mechanism, turning movement is transferred from the housing via adjustment spring, companion sleeve, one-way spring to the adjustment sleeves, which are threaded around the adjustment screws. When the stroke reaches full extension and the pads contact the rotor, the brake enters the elasticity phase, and the torque increases, the adjuster unit stops adjusting. The continued rotational movement which now occurs in adjuster unit is allowed by rotating housing in relation to adjustment spring. Release The first part of the return stroke is a combination of the elasticity phase and design clearance. Any residual part of the return stroke is excess clearance which is adjusted out during the subsequent braking. During the return stroke, return spring ensures the crossbar travels back. Brake force decreases during the first part of the return stroke. The guide pin moves to the opposite side of the slot in the adjuster unit housing where the transition to the design clearance phase starts. As the stoke continues to return the adjustment spring and companion flange are rotated in relation to the adjustment sleeve which remains stationary inside the adjuster unit housing. Movement between the companion flange and the adjustment sleeve is taken up by the one-way spring. During the last part of the return stroke, rotational movement in adjuster unit continues until mechanism reaches its resting position. The brake is now in its rest position. 16 Technical Manual ModulT Gen II Wheel-On Inspection Procedures Brake Pad Wear Inspection 1. Locate the brake pad wear indicator (PWI) pin and wear gauge on caliper. This will provide a quick visual indication of the total pad wear condition.

must be worn when 1. Look for wear, damages, and cracks on the brake rotor surfaces. Cracks that enter the cooling ducts via the outer or inner radius are not permitted.
2. Measure the thickness of the brake rotor using a brake micrometer or slide caliper. If the brake rotor has a wear ridge, the measurement can be performed using two spacers (B) (e.g. .25 in (5 mm) thick flat washers). Reduce the measured dimension by the total thickness of the two spacers (B). Acceptable crack length; less than 75% of swept width. Unacceptable crack length; more than 75% of swept width. A rotorโs thickness should be measured in three places; the center, middle and outer edge of the rotor, using
a micrometer. Replace rotor if thickness varies more than 0.005โ (.12mm) between any two points.
Minimum permitted thickness of a brake rotor is
1.5 in (37 mm). A rotor must be replaced if the wear limit has been exceeded. If resurfacing is necessary, be sure that at least 0.060โ of material remains above the minimum rotor thickness for operating wear.
In addition to regular surface wear, disc brake rotors are subject to extreme temperature and torque on every application โ and are often exposed to dirt, grease, salt, chemicals and other vocational hazards. The following notes will help you identify and address rotor conditions before they become problems.
Martensite Spotting
Extreme heat may cause changes to the metallic substructure of a rotor. Rotors may develop martensite; dark heat spots on the rotor that are hard, raised and brittle. Rotors in this condition should be replaced.
Lining Transfer
High operating temperatures or improper lining material may result in brake lining transfer, in which a layer of pad material becomes welded to the rotor surface.
Buildup may be removed by resurfacing the brake rotor. OK OK Martensite spotting. Lining transfer. 25 ModulT Gen II
Technical Manual Light heat checking. Heavy heat checking. Acceptable cracking. Unacceptable cracking. Grooving and scoring. Bluing and banding. Polishing. Heat Checking
Checking is a common condition caused by repeated heating and cooling of braking surfaces. Heat checks are short, thin, radial interruptions in the braking surface resembling multiple small and medium-size cracks.
Cracking
Heat checks may wear away with use or may become actual cracks or fractures in the rotor.
Replace rotors if cracks become over 0.060โ (1.5mm) wide, over 0.060โ (1.5mm) deep or extend over 75% of the rotor surface.
Rotor cracking may be caused by mishandling, brake imbalance, wear beyond thickness tolerance, or improper operation. Replace rotor if a crack extends through the brake surface or the mounting section.
A cracked rotor that is still considered operational should be re-inspected regularly to ensure a crack has not expanded.
Grooving and Scoring
Scores or grooves are often caused by contaminants between linings and rotors, worn linings, or lining plate contact. Replace rotor if the groove exceeds 0.060โ deep or compromises minimum thickness for the rotor.
Bluing and Banding
Brakes operating at continued high temperatures may cause rotors to be discolored with blue marks or bands. It is not necessary to replace discolored rotors that still meet thickness specifications, but the cause of overheating should be identified and repaired.
Polishing
Rotors may exhibit a mirror-like braking surface, caused by lightly dragging brakes or improper pad selection. To correct polishing, sand the rotor surface and brake pads with 80 grit emery cloth. 26 Technical Manual ModulT Gen II Brake Chamber

The reset shaft will click into position in the center of the gear wheel when fully engaged. Replace the reset shaft. 42 Technical Manual ModulT Gen II Caliper Removal and Replacement WARNING
with equipment. Removal Personal safety equipment must be worn when working 1. Before removing caliper from axle, ensure that brake chamber (page 28) is removed and secured; as well as the brake pads.
2. Loosen bolts with long wrench, one at a time, ensuring top bolt is still supporting caliper.
3. Confirm the caliper is supported.
4. Remove the bolts completely. Replacement
1. Re-install the caliper. (Never reuse bolts) 3 4 2 5 6 Caliper Installation
1. Starting with top bolt, re-install the caliper onto the brake spider using proper bolts for the specific carrier design. Never reuse bolts and check for proper length. Refer to page 7 for bolt kit numbers. Bolt tightening sequence SHOULDER BOLT BRAKE SPIDER INNER CALIPER BOLTS CAUTION Too long of bolt can bottom out on Rotor. a. Pre-torque bolts using clocking numbers and recommended pre-torque setting for size
of bolts. Refer to Table 1 on page 12.
b. Verify the pre-torque of the bolts a second time, and if necessary, re-tighten to recommended settings, Table 1, page 12
c. For final Torque specifications refer to Table1, page 12, Carrier bolt section. Care most be taken to match size of bolt and whether
dry or lubricated for proper torque. OUTER CALIPER BOLT SHOULDER BOLT IN OUTER MOUNTING HOLE

Technical Manual Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing no or low brake force, uneven braking, accelerated pad wear or unusual noise/vibration please review the following list. No or low brake force
Pads are worn out Replace pads WARNING
with equipment. Personal safety equipment must be worn when working The difference between inner/outer pad wear
is greater than 0.2 in (3 mm)? This is not necessarily a fault and will not normally have any negative effect on
the ADB function. But if the difference is >0.2 in (>3 mm) you need to be aware of the reason why in order to ensure that the system continues to operate correctly. The following potential causes should be considered and investigated: ADB installation
Sliding functions: check that nothing is blocking the calipers full range of motion (including but not limited to strapped hoses and suspension components). On steering axle, ensure that nothing is interfering with caliper, over the full steering range motion. Mechanical wear
Pads used in wet, dirty and/or salty environments will wear faster than pads running in dry, clean conditions. Differential pad wear can occur between pads on a single wheel end. Dust shields will help eliminate excessive pad wear. Driving input
Aggressive braking can result in uneven pad wear as it results in higher than average braking temperatures. Frequent stopping and high-speed stops will also result in high running temperatures, again causing uneven pad wear. Too small or too large of a running clearance may indicate that the adjuster may not be functioning and should be checked. Perform an adjuster mechanism function test. The lack of proper clearance may indicate that the slide function is seized. Perform a slide function movement measurement test. Running clearance Review pad/disc clearance, to determine if in acceptable limits. The lack of proper clearance may indicate that the slide function is seizing. Perform a slide function test. The adjust mechanism is not functioning correctly. Perform an adjuster mechanism function test. If a failed test replace caliper. 44 Technical Manual ModulT Gen II No or low brake force (continued)
Is pad/disc clearance OK? Conduct initial setting + function checks. Rotor Review rotor health section found on page 23, 24 Brake Chamber Review air pressure in the brake chamber okay? Measure with pressure gauge. Evaluate for leaks. Ensure that the drain plug has been removed from the brake chamber housing. Is air pressure in the brake chamber OK? (Measure with a pressure gauge at the brake chamber) Implement remedial measures according to vehicle manufacturerโs instructions. Has the drain plug been removed from the brake chamber housing? Does the mechanism and caliper move freely? Remove the drain plug located at the lowest point of the brake chamber. Conduct initial settings and function check. Has one of the drain plugs been removed from the brake chamber housing? Remove the drain plug located at the lowest point. Noise / vibrations from the brake Can the pads move freely in the carrier? Are there non-permitted cracks/grooves on
the brake rotor? Is the brake rotorโs
run-out within specified parameters? Remove the brake pads, clean the pads, carrier and caliper, then refit. Probably need to change the brake rotor. See the vehicle manufacturerโs instructions for more information. If not then probably need to change the brake rotor. See the vehicle manufacturerโs instructions for more information. Are the disc brake and its components fixed
to the axle as specified? See the vehicle manufacturerโs instructions for more information. 45 ModulT Gen II
