DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK


Posted on: 2003-05-22
Description
Certain trailers fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.  121, air brake systems.  These trailers were manufactured without anti-locking braking system (abs) on the front axles.  

Consequence
The use of conventional (non-abs) brakes on the front axle could allow a wheel lockup that could in turn lead to jackknifing the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash without warning.

Corrective Action
Dealers will install abs on the front axles.  Owner notification began may 25, 2003.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact doepker at 1-306-598-2171.  

Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
