2003 Strick 0400CD recalls and problems

Recall 04V-266: Service Brakes, Air

Problem: On certain converter dollies, the check valve between the air reservoir and the booster valve was installed in the reverse position with the arrow on the valve pointing towards the air reservoir.

Risk: This can result in low air pressure to the booster valve. This also creates a braking timing issue to the trailer unit(S).

Fix: The check valve will be re-plumbed, arrow pointing towards the booster valve, to provide correct air flow. Owner notification began on april 26, 2004. Owners should contact strick at 1-215-949-3600.

Recall 04V-265: Trailer Hitches

Problem: On certain converter dollies, there is a clearance problem between the loop on the trailer and the loop on the dolly. The hook on the end of the chain will not pass between the loop and the pintle hook.

Fix: Strick will modify and shorten the front gusset of the dolly leg to clear the new loop that will be installed. The handles will be relocated back behind the old loop and a new loop will be welded in place. Owner notification began on may 3, 2004. Owners should contact strick at 1-215-949-3600.
