2017 Fontaine Revolution recalls
Recall 16V-494: Parking Brake
Problem: Fontaine Trailer Company (Fontaine) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Revolution trailers manufactured February 17, 2014, to April 11, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves. These brake valves were improperly machined without a radius on the internal check valve seat, causing a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
Risk: If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Fix: Fontaine will contact owners and Bendix will provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2016. Owners may contact Fontaine Customer Service Department at 1-800-821-6535. Fontaine's number for this recall is Bendix 16E-045.
