Recall 11V-229: 2011 Kalyn 12Tsab, 2011 Kalyn 12Tsaf and 4 more
HEIL TRAILER INTERNATIONAL recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Apr 12, 2011, covering about 16 vehicles.
The problem
Kalyn is recalling certain model year 2011 12tsab, 12tsaf, kdp, kshrg, lbo and mhu100 flatbed trailers manufactured from january 2011, through march 2011 and equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters. Due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.
The risk
Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Kalyn will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. The safety recall began on march 30, 2011. Owners may contact gunite at 1-855-857-8645.
