Polar Tank Trailer, LLC "Polar Tank" is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 DOT 406, DOT 407, DOT 412, MC 331 and Non-Code trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to April 28, 2016. These trailers are equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves which may have been improperly machined which could cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
