Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC "Bendix" is recalling certain SR-5 Trailer Spring Brake Valves manufactured January 1, 2014, to March 4, 2016. 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.
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.
Bendix will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. Bendix issued an interim notification on June 17, 2016. The recall began on August 22, 2016. Owners may contact Bendix customer service at 1-800-247-2725.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
