Defect
VT Hackney, Inc. (VT Hackney) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Kidron refrigerated trailers, and Hackney Beverage Trailers manufactured February 1, 2014, to June 1, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR-5 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
VT Hackney will notify owners and any affected SR-5 valves will be replaced by kits ordered from Bendix, free of charge. VT Hackney issued an interim notification to owners on August 10, 2016. The recall began on August 24, 2016. Owners may contact VT Hackney customer service at 1-800-763-0700.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
