Advance Engineered recall: Parking brake
What is wrong
Advance Engineered Products Ltd. (Advance Engineered) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Dry Bulk Cargo Tank trailers 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.
What could happen
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 fix
Advance Engineered has notified owners, and will provide remedy kits, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2016. Owners may contact Advance Engineered customer service at 1-306-721-5678.
