Safety-critical support

Find commercial brake expertise when the vehicle must not continue.

Brake warnings, air loss, binding or reduced performance need a competent assessment. HGV247 helps locate providers, but only the attending technician can determine the safe repair or recovery route.

When this service may help

  • Brake or ABS/EBS warning
  • Binding, heat or smoke at a wheel
  • Reduced braking performance
  • Air pressure will not build or hold

Stop safely

A suspected braking defect is safety-critical. Do not continue merely to reach a workshop. Secure the vehicle as directed by your operating procedure and arrange professional assessment.

Vehicle and trailer information

Tell the provider whether the warning relates to tractor, rigid or trailer, which axle appears affected, and any diagnostic message or recent repair history.

Frequently asked questions

Can HGV brakes be repaired roadside?

Some defects may be resolved in a safe working area. Others require recovery, controlled movement or workshop equipment. The provider must assess.

Can I drive with an ABS warning?

Do not rely on a directory answer for a safety decision. Follow the vehicle instructions, your operator procedure and a competent technician's advice.
