What's wrong?
The parking brake chambers on 2008-2019 Autocar Xpeditor trucks are part of the air brake system that holds the truck still after it is parked. A brake chamber converts air pressure and spring force into mechanical force at the brake. For the parking brake, that force keeps the brake applied so the truck does not move after the driver sets it.
On affected Xpeditor trucks, the parking brake chambers were specified in an undersized configuration because of an engineering error. The smaller chambers do not have the capacity Autocar intended for this application. That leaves the parking brake with less holding force than the replacement design, which uses larger chambers with greater capacity. The defect can allow the truck to roll when parked.
There is no warning sign before failure. The truck can appear parked normally after the parking brake is set, so the issue is the chamber capacity, not a noise, pedal feel, or dashboard warning.
