Recall 03V-501: Service Brakes, Air

Reported Dec 5, 2003 · 9 vehicles affected · FEATHERLITE, INC.

Problem: On certain custom built specialty trailers equipped with dexter axles and crewson automatic slack adjusters, the push rod arms on the axle brakes are too long.

Risk: Push rod arms that are too long could cause damage to the slack adjuster or impede proper brake adjustment, resulting in accidental damage including personal injury, property damage or both.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the push rods for the correct length. If damaged the slack adjuster will be repaired or replaced. If not damaged, the push rods will be shortened by cutting to .26". Owner notification began december 13, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact featherlite at 1-800-800-1230.
