What are the causes of brake system failure?
1 Answers
Reasons for brake system failure: 1. Insufficient brake fluid pressure; 2. Air in the brake system; 3. Excessive free travel of the brake pedal or excessive brake clearance; 4. Poor contact, severe wear, or oil contamination of the brake shoe friction lining; 5. Wear or scoring of the master cylinder, wheel cylinder pistons and cylinder tubes, or aging and damage of the rubber cups. The hazards of brake system failure are: 1. Increased brake pedal travel; 2. Slow braking response; 3. Reduced braking efficiency; 4. Increased braking distance. Solutions for brake system failure: 1. Bleed the brake system; 2. Adjust the pedal free travel, check brake clearance, and disassemble and repair the brakes; 3. Adjust and repair the technical condition of the brakes.
