Recall 07V-018: Service Brakes, Air

Reported Jan 16, 2007 · 128 vehicles affected · TRAIL KING INDUSTRIES, INC.

Problem: On certain trailers, during manufacture, some of the pipe fittings were drilled too deep, resulting in a thin wall in the male pipe thread. The male pipe thread may break off during or after assembly.

Risk: If the fitting fails while in use, the air brake system could depressurize, causing the brakes to engage suddenly, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Problem: On certain dump trailers equipped with fifth wheel plates, cracks are visible in the plate located around the hoist mounts and king pin.

Fix: Dealers will either provide a gusset, free of charge, or replace the plate. Owner notification began january 8, 2004. 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 trail king at 1-800-545-1549.
