December 9, 2021 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V953000
Parking Brake May Release Unexpectedly
The unexpected release of the parking brake may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V953
Manufacturer Mack Trucks, Inc.
Components PARKING BRAKE
Potential Number of Units Affected 20,668
Summary
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2008-2019 TerraPro (MRU) and 2019-2022 TerraPro (TE) vehicles. A brake control valve air leak into the attached exhaust hose can create excessive back pressure, causing the parking brake to release unexpectedly.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the exhaust tube and fitting from the valve, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 8, 2022. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack’s number for this recall is SC0433.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
Description
A worn PP1 valve (park brake control valve) exhibiting an internal leak may cause air to pass through and out the exhaust port when the park brake is applied. Under certain conditions, the internal leak in combination with the installation of an exhaust hose may result in back pressure sufficient to allow the park brakes to release.
This results in a potential of a vehicle rollaway with the park brake control valve in the on/applied position, which may result in a vehicle crash, property damage and/or personal injury.
The exhaust tube and fitting will be removed from the valve. With the exhaust tube removed, a notable rush of air may now be heard from behind the dash during park brake apply. This is normal.
Model and Model Years Affected
- Certain 2008 – 2022 Mack TerraPro (MRU, TE) model vehicles manufactured from January 4, 2007 through December 6, 2021.
Vehicle Quantities

RECALL INFORMATION
(December, 2021)
Mack has determined that certain model year 2008 – 2022 trucks may experience a worn PP1 valve (park brake control valve) exhibiting an internal leak that may cause air to pass through and out the exhaust port when the park brake is applied. Under certain conditions, the internal leak in combination with the installation of an exhaust hose may result in back pressure sufficient to allow the park brakes to release.
To help address this safety concern, Mack is releasing this recall to remove the park brake control valve vent line and fitting, and notifying owners of Bendix’s guiding document for inspection and replacement of the park brake control valve.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Certain 2008 – 2022 Mack TerraPro (MRU, TE) model vehicles manufactured from January 4, 2007 through December 6, 2021.

Technical Bulletin
Bulletin No: TCH-003-056 | Effective Date: 11-20-2019 | Cancels: N/A
Subject: BENDIX® PP-1® & PP-8™ PARK CONTROL VALVE WEAR AND REPLACEMENT NOTICE
This bulletin applies to all Bendix® PP-1® and PP-8™ valves in applications where the exhaust port is plumbed external to the cab. It is mostly applicable to vehicles used in high-park-brake-cycle count applications, like refuse vehicles or city buses.
When a heavily-worn PP-1 or PP-8 control valve is combined with restrictive exhaust plumbing, the vehicle park brake force may be reduced. Valve wear may be the result of high-park-brake-cycle count and/or sideloading. Sideloading can be caused by pushing or pulling the valve button at an angle and not in line with the valve or from hanging objects from the button. See the table below for troubleshooting recommendations.
Bendix® Valve Model | Exhaust Port | Recommendation | ||
Port Size | Fitting | Tube | ||
PP-1® & PP-8™ | 1/8” NPT | No | No | Maintain valve per Service Data sheet SD-03-3611. |
Yes | Yes or No | Follow the procedure below. | ||
1/4” NPT | No | No | Maintain valve per Service Data sheet SD-03-3611. | |
Yes | Less than 1/2” OD | Follow the procedure below. |
DIAGNOSING A LEAKING PP-1 AND PP-8 PARK CONTROL VALVE
When performing any inspection or service, follow the steps below and refer to the guidelines outlined in the PP-1 and PP-8 Service Data sheet SD-03-3611, or instruction sheet as applicable.
1. Run the vehicle until the air system reaches full reservoir pressure (120-135 psi). Turn off the vehicle.
2. Move the control valve button & plunger from side to side and up and down. Do not push the button in. If there is any play, or if audible leakage is detected, the valve must be replaced.
3. Identify the dash valve exhaust hose location (generally near the grill). With the button pulled out (exhaust position), there should be no audible leakage. Rotate the button and plunger in a clockwise direction – stopping every 90º to check for leakage. A second inspector near the end of the exhaust hose would be helpful for this procedure. There should be no audible leakage in the cab or from the exhaust hose at any point of rotation. Using a soap solution, check for leaks. The allowable leakage should not exceed a 1” bubble in 5 seconds at any location on the valve.
4. Push the button in (applied position) and check for leaks. The leakage should not exceed a 1” bubble in 3 seconds at any location on the valve.
5. Reduce the supply pressure. At a pressure from 60 to 20 psi, depending on the spring installed, the button should pop out automatically, exhausting the delivery volume. (This does not apply to the PP-8 or some PP-1 valves without an automatic exhaust feature).

1 Associated Investigation
Vehicle Roll Away
NHTSA ID: PE20003
Dated opened: April 1, 2020
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a tip from a large fleet operator of refuse trucks about a potential defect condition that may result in a vehicle roll away. The subject vehicles are single-unit trucks equipped with certain Bendix PP-1 push-pull pneumatic park brake control valves. These subject components are mounted to the dashboard and allow the driver to apply and release the parking brakes. They have a 1/8” NPT threaded fitting in the exhaust port and an exhaust pipe to vent exhaust air outside the truck cab.
The subject components may experience an accelerated wear out condition in certain severe-duty applications with high-frequency use of the parking brakes. When the knob is pulled out to apply the parking brakes, supply side air may continuously leak past the worn valve and escape through the exhaust port. This wear out condition may not be readily detected by the driver because the sound is muffled by the exhaust pipe configuration. An exhaust flow restriction, such as an insufficient diameter exhaust port, threaded fitting or exhaust pipe, may allow back-pressure to develop and pressurize the delivery port. This may inadvertently send a signal to the park control port of the SR-7 spring brake modulating control valve to release the parking brakes, possibly resulting in a vehicle roll away.
The reporting fleet operator is aware of at least 4 roll away incidents related to the alleged defect on subject vehicles in the United States. In one case, surveillance video recorded the driver applying the parking brakes moments before the vehicle rolled away. In some cases, the root cause was determined by post-incident examination of subject components by the component supplier and/or by a third-party forensic engineering company hired by the fleet operator. In one incident, a subject vehicle rolled more than 100 meters away and crashed into a parked car and a residential structure, causing in excess of $150,000 in property damage. In another incident, a subject vehicle rolled away and crashed into several other refuse trucks parked at the depot. The reported injury incident occurred when a driver dumped a load of refuse at a landfill, pulled into the clean out area, set the parking brakes, locked out the main battery disconnect and proceeded into the rear body to perform normal clean out duties. While inside the rear body, the driver reportedly heard the sound of rushing air, the parking brakes reportedly released and the truck began to roll away. In a panic, the driver jumped out of the moving vehicle and broke his ankle, which later required surgery. The truck came to rest approximately 50 meters away against a dirt berm.
A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to assess the alleged defect.

SEOCONTENT-START
Date Number Release Page 12.2021 SC0433 01 1(9) Park Brake Control Valve MRU, TE RECALL INFORMATION (December, 2021) Mack has determined that certain model year 2008 – 2022 trucks may experience a worn PP1 valve (park brake control valve) exhibiting an internal leak that may cause air to pass through and out the exhaust port when the park brake is applied. Under certain conditions, the internal leak in combination with the installation of an exhaust hose may result in back pressure sufficient to allow the park brakes to release. To help address this safety concern, Mack is releasing this recall to remove the park brake control valve vent line and fitting, and notifying owners of Bendix’s guiding document for inspection and replacement of the park brake control valve.VEHICLES AFFECTED Certain 2008 – 2022 Mack TerraPro (MRU, TE) model vehicles manufactured from January 4, 2007 through December 6, 2021.

Technical Bulletin Bulletin No: TCH-003-056 Effective Date: 11-20-2019 Cancels: N/A Page: 1 of 1 Subject: BENDIX® PP-1® & PP-8™ PARK CONTROL VALVE WEAR AND REPLACEMENT NOTICE © 2019 Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC, a member of the Knorr-Bremse Group. All Rights Reserved Bendix® PP-1® Control Valve This bulletin applies to all Bendix® PP-1® and PP-8™ valves in applications where the exhaust port is plumbed external to the cab. It is mostly applicable to vehicles used in high-park-brake-cycle count applications, like refuse vehicles or city buses. When a heavily-worn PP-1 or PP-8 control valve is combined with restrictive exhaust plumbing, the vehicle park brake force may be reduced. Valve wear may be the result of high-park-brake-cycle count and/or sideloading. Sideloading can be caused by pushing or pulling the valve button at an angle and not in line with the valve or from hanging objects from the button. See the table below for troubleshooting recommendations. DIAGNOSING A LEAKING PP-1 AND PP-8 PARK CONTROL VALVE When performing any inspection or service, follow the steps below and refer to the guidelines outlined in the PP-1 and PP-8 Service Data sheet SD-03-3611, or instruction sheet as applicable. 1.Run the vehicle until the air system reaches full reservoir pressure (120-135 psi). Turn off the vehicle. 2.Move the control valve button & plunger from side to side and up and down. Do not push the button in. If thereis any play, or if audible leakage is detected, the valve must be replaced. 3. Identify the dash valve exhaust hose location (generally near the grill). With the button pulled out (exhaust position),there should be no audible leakage. Rotate the button and plunger in a clockwise direction – stopping every 90ºto check for leakage. A second inspector near the end of the exhaust hose would be helpful for this procedure.There should be no audible leakage in the cab or from the exhaust hose at any point of rotation. Using a soapsolution, check for leaks. The allowable leakage should not exceed a 1” bubble in 5 seconds at any location onthe valve. 4.Push the button in (applied position) and check for leaks. The leakage should not exceed a 1” bubble in 3 secondsat any location on the valve. 5.Reduce the supply pressure. At a pressure from 60 to 20 psi, depending on the spring installed, the button shouldpop out automatically, exhausting the delivery volume. (This does not apply to the PP-8 or some PP-1 valveswithout an automatic exhaust feature).

This bulletin, and any information herein, is subject to change by Company without notice. For the most current and accurate information, always refer to Trucks Dealer Portal for the electronic version of this document. Description A worn PP1 valve (park brake control valve) exhibiting an internal leak may cause air to pass through and out the exhaust port when the park brake is applied. Under certain conditions, the internal leak in combination with the installation of an exhaust hose may result in back pressure sufficient to allow the park brakes to release. This results in a potential of a vehicle rollaway with the park brake control valve in the on/applied position, which may result in a vehicle crash, property damage and/or personal injury. The exhaust tube and fitting will be removed from the valve. With the exhaust tube removed, a notable rush of air may now be heard from behind the dash during park brake apply. This is normal.
