2000 Heil Trailer recalls
Recall 03V-397: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: On certain trailers equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control units (Ecu). If the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp circuit experiences an electrical short and the short is not repaired, the high side power switch inside the ECU that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
Risk: In an over-current condition in the ECU and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
Fix: Detailed instructions and also provide a labor allowance for the repair. 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 bendix at 1-800-478-1793 or heil at 1-800-400-6913.
Recall 00V-127: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Vehicle equipment: petroleum tanker trailers equiped with bendix air brake system air dryers. The retaining bolts for the reed covers on either end of the trailer air dryer may crack causing the bolt heads to come off.
Risk: The air brake system can leak air out from the air dryer causing a low air warning buzzer and eventually the trailer parking brakes coming to full apply or the trailer's parking brakes can engage without prior warning.
Fix: Bendix is conducting the owner notification for this recall. Owners are instructed to contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 to receive a replacement unit. Bendix will replace the trailer air dryers without charge.
