Summary

Timpte, Inc. "Timpte" is recalling certain 2022 Bulk Commodity Hopper trailers. The screws that secure the bracket cover and end cover of the iABS Electronic Control Unit "ECU" may have been improperly tightened, which can allow the screws to loosen and back out, resulting in a loss of pressure in the unit.

Consequence

Pressure loss in the iABS unit can cause a loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the iABS ECU, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 15, 2021. Owners may contact Timpte customer service at 1-402-367-3056.
