Defect Description

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.

Safety Consequence
