WASHINGTON — The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) Brake Safety Week is set for Aug. 20-26. Throughout Brake Safety Week, CVSA-certified inspectors will conduct their usual inspections; however, in addition, they will be reporting brake-related inspection and violation data to the Alliance. “The focus of this year’s Brake Safety Week is on the condition of the brake lining and pad,” said CVSA President Major Chris Nordloh with the Texas Department of Public Safety. Inspect required brake system warning devices, such as anti-lock braking system (ABS) malfunction lamp(s) and low air-pressure warning devices. Brake safety awareness, education and outreach are major elements of the Brake Safety Week campaign.
