The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) will be holding 2025’s Brake Safety Week from Aug. 24-30. During this period, inspectors will hold commercial motor vehicle inspections focused on brake safety, and the data from these inspections and discovered violations will go to CVSA.
The focus for this year’s Brake Safety Week is drums and rotors. When drums and rotors are damaged, they not only affect brake efficiency, but broken pieces of drums and rotors can dislodge from a vehicle and damage others, causing injuries or fatalities. Vehicles with brake-related out-of-service violations (and other OOS issues) will be removed until the issues are addressed.
Additionally, the data from CV inspections, violations, and brake systems and components will go to the CVSA. Some jurisdiction swill use performance-based brake testers (PBBT) to asses braking performance, and will submit that data as well. All the collected data and results will be released to the public later this year.
Finally, CVSA is offering various educational efforts and resources for Brake Safety Week. These include an airbrake pushrod stroke brochure, a brake inspection checklist, a postcard on diagnosing self-adjusting brakes, and a brochure on PBBT.
