Washington, D.C. (Oct. 27, 2025) – Inspectors in 52 jurisdictions throughout North America conducted 15,175 commercial motor vehicle inspections with a focus on brake systems and components as part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) annual Brake Safety Week, Aug. 24-30.
The majority of the commercial motor vehicles inspected (84.9%) did not have any out-of-service brake violations that would deemed them unsafe to proceed on their route. However, commercial motor vehicle inspectors did place 2,296 vehicles out of service due to brake-related violations. That is a 15.1% out-of-service rate out of the total number of vehicles inspected.
In addition to the other brake components that are examined as part of a routine North American Standard Inspection, inspectors provided violation data for drums and rotors, the focus for this year’s brake safety initiative. There were 113 drum and rotor violations. Thirty-nine commercial motor vehicles were placed out of service for rotor and/or drum violations. Note: There may be more than one violation on some vehicles/combinations.
