Results from CVSA’s Unannounced Brake Safety Day
Following an unannounced one-day brake safety enforcement effort, the numbers are in. A total of 4,569 commercial vehicle inspections were conducted, and 4,171 passed without any brake-related out-of-service violations. However, 398 vehicles were sidelined due to brake system issues, as part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s targeted enforcement campaign.
This year’s focus included closer inspection of brake drums and rotors. Among the most common violations were issues with brake hoses or tubing, steering axle components, air loss rates, worn or damaged drums and rotors, and general brake defects.
This wasn’t the only brake-focused enforcement effort in 2025. The more extensive Brake Safety Week is still to come, scheduled for August 24-30th.
