Question:
When are your brakes fading?
A
You have to push harder on a brake pedal to control your speed on a downgrade.
explanation
As the overheated drums expand, the brake shoes and linings have to move farther to contact the drums, and the force of this contact is reduced. Continued overuse may increase brake fade until the vehicle cannot be slowed down or stopped. [California Commercial Driver Handbook]
