What was wrong

Defect

THE INVOLVED ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM CONTAINS AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT THAT IS NOT OF EATON SPECIFICATIONS. ALSO, AN OPENING OF A SOLDER CONNECTION EXISTS BETWEEN THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND ANOTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. THIS CAN CAUSE THE ANTI-LOCK VALVE SOLENOID (COILED CURRENT CONDUCTING WIRE) TO BE CONTINUOUSLY ENERGIZED. THE BRAKES IN THE AXLE, BEING CONTROLLED BY THE AFFECTED ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM, MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE.

Manufacturer remedy

DEFECTIVE CONTROLLERS WILL BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNERS.
