Risk: In the vehicles concerned, incorrect axle modulators, proportional relay valves and trailer control valves from the firm WABCO have been installed. Owing to this defect, a solo-operated vehicle may unexpectedly swerve uncontrollably during normal braking. The component defect may thus result in an immediate risk to road safety.
