What Are the Causes of Brake Failure?
1 Answers
Causes of brake failure include: 1. Lack of necessary maintenance on the brake system, excessive impurities in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, failure of the vacuum booster pump, contaminated brake fluid or mixing different types of brake fluid leading to vapor lock when heated, leakage in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinders, and air leaks in the air reservoir or pipeline connections; 2. Severe overloading, which increases the vehicle's momentum due to gravitational acceleration, directly leading to brake failure; 3. Improper operation causing mechanical failure, such as prolonged downhill driving causing the brake pads to overheat, the brake drums to carbonize, and the braking function to completely fail. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, and other transportation tools or machinery.
