The issue
ON S-SERIES TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES AND ELECTRIC ENGINE SHUTOFF AND CARGOSTAR TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH HYDRO-MAX HYDRAULIC BRAKES, THE BRAKES MAY FAIL DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE FROM THE MAIN POWER FEED OF THE ALTERNATOR. THIS IS A COMMON POWER SOURCE FOR THE ENGINE AND THE ELECTRIC MOTOR FOR THE BRAKE BACK-UP SYSTEM. ELECTRICAL FAILURE COULD RESULT IN A NEAR NO-BRAKE SITUATION AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: SEPARATE ENGINE AND BRAKE BACK-UP CIRCUITS WILL BE PROVIDED.
