Defect Description

Transcraft Corporation (Transcraft) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Platform Trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to March 4, 2016, 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.

Consequence / Hazard

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.

Proposed Solution

Transcraft will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. Transcraft issued an interim notification to owners on August 11, 2016. The recall began on September 6, 2016. Owners may contact Transcraft Customer Service Department at 1-618-833-5151.
