Component
PARKING BRAKE
Manufacturer
Tesla, Inc.
What Happened
The parking brake system in your Semi truck relies on a small computer called the electronic parking brake valve module (PVM). In some 2023 models, this PVM might not engage the parking brake properly when you release the brake pedal.
Risk if Unfixed
If the parking brake doesn't engage as expected, your Semi truck could roll away when you release the brake pedal. This increases the risk of a crash, especially on slopes or uneven terrain.
Free Fix
Tesla will replace the faulty parking brake valve module for free. You should contact Tesla customer service to schedule the repair as soon as possible.
