What's wrong?
The Intellipark Park Valve Module on 2024-2025 Freightliner Business Class M2 vehicles is part of the parking brake control system. It uses internal air passages and a rubber ball seal to help hold and release the park brake when the driver operates the parking brake switch. In normal use, the module must seal cleanly so air pressure moves the brake system as commanded.
On affected vehicles, the rubber ball seal in the module was improperly molded. A crack in that seal can tear during assembly, then grow after repeated parking brake operation and exposure to heat, moisture, and road conditions. Once the seal leaks too much air, the park brake can fail to apply correctly or engage unexpectedly while the truck is moving.
The driver has parking brake status lights on the control switch, plus dashboard warning lights or audible and visual messages. During a pre-trip inspection, the usual air exhaust sound heard when parking the truck can be missing, or an excessive air leak can be heard before the vehicle is put in service.
Who's affected?

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Park brake failure, or park brake engagement while the truck is moving, increases the risk of a crash. Watch the parking brake switch LEDs, dashboard telltale, audible alerts, and dash messages. During pre-trip inspection, listen for an air leak or the absence of the normal exhaust sound when parking. Repair is free at any franchised Freightliner dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Freightliner technician removes the Intellipark Park Valve Module and replaces it as a whole unit with a PVM that does not have the defect. The module is not opened or serviced in the field. Parts and labor are free under the recall. For prior paid repairs tied to this PVM defect, Bendix says reimbursement runs through its general reimbursement plan or a recall specific plan if needed. Bring your repair documentation to the Freightliner service desk and ask how the reimbursement process applies.
