Whatโ€™s New

Safety Recall โ€“ Work brake may unintentionally disengage. The work brake (also known as winch brake) may unintentionally disengage during winching operations, releasing the service brakes, increasing the risk of crash or injury. The VECU software will be updated to correctly set the speed interlock parameter.

 

Introduction

The work brake, also known as winch brake, may unintentionally disengage during winching operations, releasing the service brakes.

Slight vehicle movement during winching causes the wheel speed sensor to detect vehicle movement. There is โ€œnoiseโ€ in the wheel speed sensor at lower vehicle speeds, and erroneous values are communicated. These erroneous values exceed the speed interlock, causing the work brake to disengage.

 

Situation

544 chassis (534 U.S. and 10 Canada) W990 and T880 chassis built from 08/22/2018 through 11/03/2021 and equipped with a work brake (winch brake) and intended service as a wrecker or auto hauler.

 

Resolution

Service all affected chassis that enter your dealership, even if the customer has no issue with the chassis.

1. Review the attached chassis list for your dealer code and schedule your customer(s) for service if their chassis is on the list.

2. If you are not using Service Management to start repair orders, review SIR for “Complete” or “In Process” next to the “21KWG” campaign code prior to performing this repair.

3. Follow the procedures below to update the VECU software and correctly set the speed interlock parameter.

Federal Law

It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to sell or lease new vehicles covered by this recall until the defect or noncompliance has been corrected.

 

Procedure

Please follow your dealership’s safety procedures and precautions to ensure the vehicle can be safely repaired and maintained.

Go to PVP and verify the parameter (either N815 or AA01153) is set to 30MPH. Change to 30MPH if needed.

Consult the chassis list to confirm the electrical architecture (VMUX or CVMUX) of the chassis. Refer to the appropriate procedure below.

Update instructions for CVMUX chassis

1. Ensure DAVIE4 is up to date.

2. Connect a battery charger to the chassis.

3. Ensure all programs except DAVIE4 are closed when you begin programming.

4. Update the VECU software to the latest available version.

5. Ensure ESA is up to date. Refer to bulletin 03-064 for ESA best practices for software update instructions and other tips.

6. Update the CECU software to the latest available version.

 

Update instructions for VMUX chassis

1. Ensure DAVIE4 is up to date.

2. Connect a battery charger to the chassis.

3. Ensure all programs except DAVIE4 are closed when you begin programming.

4. Update the VECU software to the latest available version.

 

Parts

Parts are not required.

 


Chronology :

10-23-20: Driver reports hearing air exhaust and work brakes release during a winching operation, causing the vehicle to roll. No injuries or property damage was reported. Driver was able to manually apply brakes. Field service notified, engineering initiates investigation, and troubleshooting guidance is provided.

12-01-20: Field visits are completed with no issues identified, and unable to replicate customer complaint. All involved parts replaced as a precaution were reviewed with no issues identified. Investigation is placed in monitor status.

07-29-21: Dealership notifies KenwortheBay of customer reporting work brakes automatically disengaging on July 19. Investigation begins to understand details of recent event.

08-19-21: Technical team on-site at customer replicates complaint. Two trucks were used, one was winching the other truck. During the winching operation, the vehicle moved slightly, the team heard air exhaust, and the work brakes released. Upon further review, the wheel speed sensor noted there is โ€œnoiseโ€ in the sensor signal at speeds up to 7mph, and may be communicating an erroneous value. Certain vehicles are equipped with a work brake speed interlock, which causes the work brake to disengage at speeds above a set value. The team hypothesized that the โ€œnoiseโ€ in the sensor signal may be exceeding the speed interlock value, resulting in the work brakes disengaging. The investigation continued to evaluate this hypothesis further.

10-27-21: Team completes investigation and recommends increasing speed interlock value for all vehicles in wrecker applications.

11-10-21: The affected population is confirmed.

11-12-21: Production clean point for wrecker applications.

11-16-21: Safety committee meeting held. The committee agrees that a safety defect exists and that the affected population shall be recalled.

11-18-21: Production clean point for auto hauler applications.

KHGUZ 1/4'' x 50 Ft Car Synthetic Winch Rope Kit, 10000LBS Heavy Duty Vehicle Winch Cable with Protecting Sleeve and Thimble, Automotive Accessories, Universal for Off Road ATV UTV (Black)
  • ใ€Premium Materialใ€‘: Our products are made of synthetic fiber material. Synthetic fiber materials are lighter in weight compared to traditional wire ropes. This makes it easier to carry and use during repairing process, thus reducing the overall burden. Synthetic fiber materials are lightweight and flexible, thus making our products easier to control and improving ease of operation.
  • ใ€Practical Functionใ€‘: Our products can be connected to the winch system of the vehicle and pull the vehicle out through the pulling force of the winch. During the towing process, the winch rope reduces the impact and damage to the vehicle, thus protecting the body structure and chassis. In addition, the winch rope also prevents breakage or sliding during use, thus protecting the safety of the operator.
  • ใ€Extraordinary Versatilityใ€‘: Synthetic winch ropes are used in different applications and fit different off-road vehicle winches from 1,0000 lbs. to 26,000 lbs. Trailer tow rope is suitable for winching most automotive SUVs, trucks, ATVs, UTVs, pickups and more. It not only inherits the strength and durability of traditional winch ropes, but also achieves significant improvements in several key performance areas.
  • ใ€Unique Propertiesใ€‘: A steel cable stores energy as it winds. When the steel cable eventually breaks, it turns into a steel whip capable of causing injury to a person. Synthetic cables and ropes, on the other hand, do not store energy as they wind, so if the rope breaks, it won't harm you. Our product is a safe trailer winch rope attachment.
  • ใ€12 Strand Steady Structure ใ€‘: Our products are designed with a 12-strand stabilizing structure. This design spreads out the pressure of the rope when it is under stress, which can allow each strand of fiber to take up some of the tension, thus increasing the overall strength. As a result, the winch rope is more stable and less likely to break when subjected to high loads. The stable structural design helps to ensure the safety of the operation process.
