The short answer
NHTSA received Hyundai Translead’s report on Dec 21, 2017. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 27, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting flange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2017 Hyundai Translead Composite trailers, model number 30012130, and HyCube trailers model numbers 30012400, 30012409, 30012410, 30012431, 30012434, 30012481, and 30012595.
These trailers are equipped with MPA/MTA suspensions and Meritor EX225 brakes.
The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting flange.
