The Most Common Seen Causes of Truck Breakdowns

Truck repair costs are undoubtedly something that truck-operating businesses are well acquainted with. Therefore, a breakdown can be a significantly more expensive occurrence and undoubtedly affect the bottom line of your business. So, what are the top breakdown causes?

Faulty Brakes

While towing huge loads may place a significant strain on the truck's mechanical components, braking and decelerating the vehicle can rapidly degrade the braking system. Experts in truck repairs at Interbilt are able to identify and repair braking system issues prior to their becoming problematic.

Tyre Blowouts

Tyre blowouts are among the most common causes of semi-truck breakdowns. A tyre failure is one of the most significant concerns that fleets must be aware of, given that they transport enormous quantities of materials over vast distances. This can be minimised through regular inspections and service, maintaining accurate tyre pressure and changing out worn tyres.

Oil Leaks

Loss of lubrication caused by oil leaks in fleet vehicles can increase friction and force components to rub against one another. It is critical to be aware of this matter because friction can cause parts to fail. As with the majority of these frequent truck breakdowns, routine maintenance will assist in identifying these issues.
