Recall 06V-404: 2007 Sidump'r 223, 2007 Sidump'r 325 and 1 more
SIDUMP'R TRAILER COMPANY recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Oct 24, 2006, covering about 41 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trailers, during manufacture, some of the pipe fittings were drilled too deep, resulting in a thin wall in the male pipe thread. The male pipe thread may break off during or after assembly.
The risk
If the fitting fails while in use, the air brake system could depressurize, causing the brakes to engage suddenly, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will quarantine the vehicles and replace defective fitting free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during november 2006. Owners may contact sidump's at 402-582-4830.
