Defect Description

East Manufacturing Corp. (East) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Flatbed, Frame Dump, and Flatbed Tipper trailers manufactured January 10, 2014, to April 24, 2015, 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 Consequence

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

East Manufacturing Corp. will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, 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 East customer service at 1-330-325-9921.
