Chronology :
November 22, 2023: Orscheln identifies out of specification supplier rod, manufacturing equipment fixture issue, and calibration issue and begins investigation.
December 2023 – January 2024: Orscheln determines population of equipment potentially manufactured during the relevant time period. .
January 16, 2024: Orscheln begins issuing technical bulletin on secondary latch seating position because latch is a secondary system and primary holding is the over center mechanism and park brake lever remains engaged until force is applied to release it.
January 26, 2024: Blue Bird Body Company files Part 573
February 23, 2024: Ford Motor Company files Part 573
In alignment with its customers’ reports and in an abundance of caution, Orscheln determined on March 4, 2024 to submit this report even though the park brake will remain engaged and hold the system in park unless sufficient force is applied to disengage it, even if the secondary latch is not performing. Additional units were supplied to others but the control plan measurements taken during assembly indicate those park brake levers are within specification. However, Orscheln is continuing to investigate whether any additional customers have received affected units and will supplement as necessary.
No accidental disengagements reported to date

The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573
Manufacturer Name : Submission Date :
Orscheln Products L.L.C. MAR 08, 2024 NHTSA Recall No. : 24E-022 Manufacturer Recall No. : NR Manufacturer Information :

Moberly MO 63532
Company phone : 660 269 4900
Population :
Number of potentially involved : 148 Estimated percentage with defect : 1 %
Equipment Information : Brand / Trade 1 :
Model : Orscheln park brake lever N/A Part No. : 23039400; 23039401 Size : 147700 Function : braking
Descriptive Information : The potential concern relates to the performance of a secondary latch on the brake lever. The park brake levers may be released through the application of force to the park brake handle without pushing the release button. A park brake lever exhibiting the concern will still engage the park brake in the applied lever position. Production Dates : OCT 01, 2022 – NOV 22, 2023
Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : Secondary latch is not catching when the park brake is engaged due to bracket mounting and release rod variation outside of specification.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : The secondary park brake latch is not catching and the park brake lever,
which is designed to hold without the latch, could be disengaged if sufficient manual force is applied to release the park brake. The park brake is FMVSS compliant without the secondary latch because FMVSS does not require any secondary latch.
Description of the Cause : The rod is manufactured out of specification and the bracket is welded out of specification due to an equipment issue and calibration issue of a measuring
tool. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24E-022 Page 2 Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : Depending on the vehicle architecture and use, given the force required to release the park brake lever and the physical downward movement of the lever by approximately 90 degrees, the driver should notice the disengagement if present at that time and the dash may have lights indicating the park brake is not engaged.

Description of Remedy Program : Description of Remedy: Manual rework of the latch rod in the unapplied
position to manually reposition and engage latch. Description of Remedy Program: Inspect and, if necessary, rework at authorized dealers or service locations at no cost to the consumer. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component :
Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : It is an inspection and rework and not a new component. Rod manufacturer corrected process to create correct dimensions. The manufacturing equipment was rebuilt to correct missing locating pin to ensure bracket is placed and welded at correct dimensions; and, preventative maintenance program for equipment updated to include a verification of location pin and a check for wear of bushing and bracket locating pins; and, additional testing procedures added to final assembly control plan requiring a twenty-five pound force test procedure to validate secondary latch performance as well as cycling the park brake system three times to validate secondary latch performance.
