August 20-26, 2023, is

Brake Enforcement Week

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has designated August 20-26 for this year's Brake Safety Week, which will emphasize brake lining/pad violations. The event centers on the scrutiny of brake systems in commercial motor vehicles, aiming to ensure their proper functioning. Instances of brake-related out-of-service violations will lead to the removal of such vehicles from the road until rectified.


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 Maj. Chris Nordloh with the Texas Department of Public Safety. “Brake lining and pad issues may result in vehicle violations and could affect a motor carrier’s safety rating.”
