2020–2021 DAF Trucks CF 6x4 CF 450 FTT Australian built SKD, CF 480 FTT Australian built SKD, CF 530 FTT Australian built SKD

Category: Heavy Vehicle · Supplier: PACCAR AUSTRALIA PTY. LTD.

Recall date: 3 September 2021

Defect

The prime mover air brake system may not comply with the Australian Design Rule (ADR). In the event of a total trailer air brake system air loss, the prime mover and trailer brakes will automatically apply, increasing the risk of losing control of the vehicle.

Hazard

If this occurs it may result in a loss of vehicle control, which would increase the risk of a crash and injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users. This would also be non-compliant with ADR35/06.

Remedy

Owners will be contacted and advised to make an immediate appointment with their nearest PACCAR Australia DAF dealer to arrange for a technician to inspect and repair the vehicle. For more information, owners can contact their nearest PACCAR Australia DAF dealer. Visit https://www.daf.com.au/findadealer/ to find your nearest dealer.
