Improperly seated brake chamber diaphragm
Defect Summary
Haldex commercial vehicle systems (haldex) is recalling certain haldex life seal type 30/30 long stroke air brake actuators, part number 1533030xxx/lc3030l, manufactured december 17, 2013, to february 18, 2015. the affected actuators may have an incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism of the parking brake section of the life seal actuator.
Safety Consequence
If the diaphragm is not completely attached, there may be internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm, potentially trapping air pressure in the parking brake section. This air pressure in turn, if not vented, may prevent full release of the actuator unit, and may induce brake drag and may result in overheated wheelend service brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.

Haldex will notify their affected vehicle manufacturing customers, and their dealers will remove and replace the haldex life seal type 30/30 long stroke actuators with haldex gold seal type 30/30 long stroke actuators, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin in march 2015. owners may contact haldex customer service at 1-800-752-2501 or haldexhotline@haldex.com. note: this recall supersedes recall 14e-075. any affected vehicle whose brake chamber was previously inspected but not replaced is included in this recall.
