Hendrickson recall: Service brakes
What is wrong
Hendrickson USA. L.L.C. (Hendrickson) is recalling certain CONNEX ST steerable suspension and axle systems with TSE brake actuators. The washers used for mounting the actuators may fracture, allowing the actuators to loosen, potentially reducing the braking ability.
What could happen
A reduction in the braking performance can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Hendrickson will notify the affected trailer manufacturers, and TSE Brakes will replace the flat mounting washers, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact TSE Brake customer service at 1-256-736-6275 or Hendrickson customer service at 1-866-743-3247. Hendrickson's number for this recall is 2019-01.
