Defect
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.
Safety risk
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.
Remedy
Wabash will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge.. Wabash issued an interim notification to owners on August 10, 2016. The recall began on September 6, 2016. Owners may contact Wabash Customer Service Department at 1-765-771-5300.
