Potential Defect with Bendix ATR 6 Valves

Please see the Navistar release below:


Bendix has determined that a potential defect related to motor vehicle safety exists with Bendix ATR 6 valves. The link below describes the current situation and actions underway.


Units affected were built January through December 2011 and equipped with either traction control and/or ESP (exact date codes of affected valves are specified in the FAQ) . International will begin directly notifying affected customers shortly.
Under cold conditions (0 F or colder ) internal leakage can potentially develop, resulting in pressure being delivered to the affected delivery circuit.
If you your fleet operates in severe cold conditions please review the link to the FAQ that provides details for a temporary remedy that disables the solenoid and minimizes the risk of service brake apply when operating in cold weather.


Bendix will begin shipping the permanent remedy kit to affected OEM's Feb 3.
