    On Sunday, September 8th, 2013, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) will begin "Brake Safety Week 2013".

    From September 8th, through September 14th, the CVSA will be conducing level IV inspections of commercial motor vehicles in the United States and Canada, and the primary focus will be the vehicle's air brake system.

    During CVSA's Brake Safety Week, inspectors will be inspecting brake adjustment (pushrod travel), brake linings (thickness and condition), brake drums (inspecting for cracks/damage), low air pressure warning devices, air leaks, and checking air lines for damage (chafing). ...

    In addition to brake systems, inspectors will also be checking drivers licences and registration.

    What's the other 51 weeks? No brake safety week? Crawl under there once a year. That ain't too bad. :biggrin_2559:

    Thanks for the HU!

    That means there will be more parking spaces all this next week as all the junk will run and hide.

    I've also heard they are going to be checking ABS lights.
    Does your ABS light come on and go out properly?
