Recalls for 2011 Silver Eagle Hawk

DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SLACK ADJUSTERS

Posted on: 2011-09-21
Description
Silver eagle is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 hawk, tandem and falcon dollies manufactured from november 18, 2010, through march 24, 2011, and equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters.  Due to an incomplete knitting of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.  

Consequence
Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.

Corrective Action
Silver eagle will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge.  The safety recall is expected to begin on or before july 1, 2011.  Owners may contact accuride at 1-855-857-8645.

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .
