Recall 07V-210: 2006 Cheetah Container Chassis, 2006 Cheetah Remac Container Chassis
CHEETAH CHASSIS CORPORATION recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on May 16, 2007, covering about 1,012 vehicles.
The problem
On certain semi-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
Cheetah chassis is working with brasscraft to replace the defective fitting free of charge (Please see 06e082). The recall is expected to begin during may 2007. Owners may contact brasscraft at 248-305-6000 or cheetah chassis at 570-752-2709.
