U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PERFORMS RANDOM TESTS OF BRAKE FLUID EVERY YEAR
What is a DOT’s routine random test? U.S. Department of Transportation randomly selects brake fluid cans from store shelves to test every year. A product that doesn’t comply with FMVSS 116 may be recalled. Along with physical tests, DOT also evaluates the brake fluid brand for label and packaging requirements.
What may trigger a failed test?
SUPPLY CHAIN ERROR
A change or decrease in quality of raw materials may negatively affect the quality of the final product.
HUMAN ERROR
A person’s mistake during manufacturing may negatively affect product quality, which will result in a failed test.
POOR STORAGE CONDITIONS
Brake fluid may pick up moisture and contaminants due to poor storage conditions on-site.
POOR TRANSPORTATION CONDITIONS
Poor handling during transportation and some environmental factors may lead to a decline in product quality.
PACKAGING
ERROR
Failure to meet the DOT’s labeling requirements may lead to a recall, while possible container contamination or double seal failure may lead to a decline in product quality.
ENSURE BRAKE FLUID QUALITY WITH REGULAR TESTING TO AVOID RECALLS
It is recommended for brake automotive manufacturers to monitoring manufacturing process and perform regular product quality control inspections to ensure their continued compliance with the industry and government standards. Additional third-party validation testing of brake fluid could provide the greater quality assurance as multiple risks hide along the supply chain and production stages.
