Production Dates : FEB 11, 2021 – SEP 14, 2022
Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : The brake pad retaining assembly on certain Haldex air disc brakes (ADB) maycontain an improperly installed retaining clip. If the retaining clip is improperlyinstalled, the retainer bar may move and fail to retain the brake pads fullywithin the brake assembly, especially under road vibration conditions. Brakepads do not detach from the brake assembly but a loose brake pad, retainerbar, or retaining clip may come in contact with other nearby wheelcomponents, 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
mayenable the retainer bar and retaining clip to detach from the brake and mayallow the brake pad to loosen. A loose brake pad may slightly reduce brakeeffectiveness, and may cut a tire valve resulting in a flat tire, and
eventuallycan cause damage to the brake pad or wheel. A detached retaining Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-100 Page 2 clip orretainer bar may come in contact with other vehicle parts and may fall into theroadway, creating road debris and a potential traffic hazard.
Description of the Cause : An incomplete manual assembly process resulted in inconsistent installation ofthe retaining clip and brake pad retainer bar. Identification of Any Warning NR

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 thesubject component. The incident appeared to involve the retaining clip installation described above. On Sept. 15, 2022 a second incident was reported thatappeared unrelated based on the initial information received. The axle manufacturer also provided photographs of apparent clip misalignment on un-installedunits and reported that eight brake assemblies from incoming inventory appeared misaligned. Haldex immediately began investigating the issue andimplemented containment actions in their manufacturing plant, including suspending brake shipments on Sept. 15, 2022. On Sept. 19, 2022 Haldex begansending inspection teams to the trailer manufacturer locations and several trailer manufacturer customer locations to inspect assemblies. Haldex hasinspected approximately 3800 units to date and confirmed 8 with misaligned brake spring retaining clips. Haldex also sent inspection teams to the axlemanufacturing facility to inspect and contain any improperly assembled products. Haldex confirmed that even with a loose brake pad, overall braking functionon the trailer was still effective. On Sept. 21, 2022 Haldex confirmed that the second incident reported by the trailer manufacturer did in fact involve animproperly assembled brake retaining clip. This was confirmed by onsite inspection of the subject trailer showing that the brake retaining clip and retainer barwere missing. Haldex’s investigation indicated that even though overall The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-100 Page 3 trailer braking function was minimally impacted, a loose retainer bar or retaining clipcould 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 retainerbar.
Haldex has identified the assembly plant at which the subject ADBs were produced and has implemented corrective actions and mistake-proofing in theassembly process to ensure that future shipments are properly assembled. Corrective action at the assembly plant was implemented on September 19, 2022. Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : Customer KWIK was notified 10/13/22 with the axle numbers potential affected so they can check their trailers.
