Description
Wabash national corporation (wabash) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 van trailers manufactured january 1, 2014, to may 10, 2016, equipped with certain bendix sr5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
Consequence
If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

The remedy for this recall is still under development. Wabash issued an interim notification to owners on august 10, 2016. The manufacturer has not yet finalized a notification schedule. Owners may contact wabash customer service department at 1-765-771-5300.
