DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER
Posted on: 2015-11-24
Description
Wabash national corporation (wabash) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 van trailers manufactured december 9, 2013, to august 25, 2015, and equipped with certain meritor ex225l2, ex225l+, and bendix adb22x axles. The affected axle assemblies have brake caliper mounting bolts that may not have been properly tightened, allowing the caliper mounting bolts to back out and the caliper to detach from the axle flange.
Consequence
If the caliper detaches from the axle flange, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on january 11, 2016. Owners may contact wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404.
