Major Accident Investigation Team together with the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission and the Washington State Department conducted a study to identify the typical brake fluid condition on the average motor vehicle and the conditions in which fluid failure can be recognized as a collision causing circumstances. Three different classes of vehicles are selected truck class, utility class, and small passenger class. A database of boiling points in randomly selected vehicles has been developed and the boiling of the brake fluid in relation to the make, model, year, mileage, and service type is verified.
