Disclosed is an apparatus (100) for detecting a failure of a gladhand coupler (10) connecting a towing component (50) and a trailer component (60) of a commercial or railroad vehicle. The towing component (50) is configured with a triggerable mechanism (55) adapted to change, through the gladhand coupler (10), a pressure for braking the trailer component (60). The apparatus (100) is characterized by a triggering module (110), configured to trigger the mechanism (55); and by a detection module (120), configured to detect a reaction of the commercial or railroad vehicle (70) after the triggering module (110) has triggered the mechanism (55), to attribute the reaction to a failure of the gladhand coupler (10), and to issue a warning signal (130) about the failure of the gladhand coupler (10).
