BRAKE MALFUNCTION

Brake failures can prove dangerous for any motor vehicle. However, given the size and weight of semi trucks and 18-wheelers, brake malfunctions for these powerful autos can create catastrophic accidents that lead to very serious injuries and even death for those involved. Unfortunately, no matter how careful a truck driver may be, they cannot predict when brakes will suffer from a mechanical defect and malfunction.

Causes of Defective Brakes

A defective or faulty brake can cause a wide range of issues that may lead to a truck accident. Faulty brakes themselves may be the result of several different design or mechanical flaws. A manufacturer error is a particularly common issue in brake defect accident. Some common causes of brake malfunctions include:

  • Design defects
  • Driver error
  • Use of subpar materials in construction
  • Lack of proper installation in the vehicle
  • Lack of proper maintenance

A truck driver who recognizes a problem with his or her vehicle needs to get the truck repaired as soon as possible before getting back on the road. Failure to do so can result in devastating accidents.
