DEFECT #1 - PARKING BRAKE
Posted on: 2016-07-01
Description
Fontaine trailer company (fontaine) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 revolution trailers manufactured february 17, 2014, to april 11, 2016, equipped with certain bendix sr5 spring brake valves. These brake valves were improperly machined without a radius on the internal check valve seat, causing a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
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.
Corrective Action
The recall is still under development. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact fontaine customer service department at 1-800-821-6535. Fontaine's number for this recall is bendix 16e-045.
