Brake performance is one of the most critical factors in commercial vehicle safety, which is why the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) conducts its annual Brake Safety Week across North America. This year’s event is scheduled for August 23-29, 2026, and will focus specifically on the condition of brake drums and rotors.
During the week-long enforcement initiative, CVSA-certified inspectors will conduct roadside inspections of commercial motor vehicles, looking for brake-related violations that could compromise safety. Vehicles found with out-of-service brake defects will be removed from operation until repairs are completed.
For fleets, owner-operators, and trucking companies, CVSA Brake Safety Week is an important reminder that preventive maintenance is essential—not only for passing inspections, but for protecting drivers, equipment, and everyone sharing the road.
This year’s campaign places special emphasis on brake drums and rotors because defects in these components can significantly impact braking efficiency and vehicle safety. Inspectors will be looking for issues such as:
Damaged brake drums or rotors can reduce stopping capability and potentially create roadway hazards if components fail while a vehicle is in operation.
