What’s wrong with it?

THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM CAN LEAK AIR OUT FROM THE AIR DRYER CAUSING A LOW AIR WARNING BUZZER AND EVENTUALLY THE TRAILER PARKING BRAKES COMING TO FULL APPLY OR THE TRAILER’S PARKING BRAKES CAN ENGAGE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: AIR BRAKE SYSTEM AIR DRYERS.

THE RETAINING BOLTS FOR THE REED COVERS ON EITHER END OF THE TRAILER AIR DRYER MAY CRACK CAUSING THE BOLT HEADS TO COME OFF.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
