How to Prevent Brake Failure?
1 Answers
Methods to prevent brake failure: 1. Pay attention to the maintenance of the brake system during daily car use. 2. Regularly inspect the brake pedal, brake discs and pads, brake vacuum booster pump, and brake master cylinder. 3. When checking the brake pads, also examine the wear condition of the brake discs or drums, and regularly inspect and replace the brake fluid. Causes of brake failure include: 1. Improper operation: such as prolonged downhill driving causing the brake pads to overheat, carbonization of the brake drums, and complete loss of braking function. 2. Severe overloading: the increased inertia of the vehicle due to gravity acceleration directly leads to brake failure. 3. Lack of regular brake system maintenance: excessive impurities in the brake pump, poor sealing, severe contamination of brake fluid, etc., can cause oil leaks in the brake pump or air leaks in the air reservoir or pipe connections when the system overheats, resulting in brake failure.
