2000 Wabash Trailer recalls
Recall 03V-314: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: On certain trailers equipped with sealco spring brake control valve assemblies incorporated in arvinmeritor axles, part nos. 110700 and 110800, there is a recessed area on top of the valve in which a brass guide pin fits down inside the body of the valve and is held in place by a steel snap ring. The recessed area allows accumulation of water, dirt, and/or chemicals to build up behind the snap ring to the point where it will no longer contain the guide pin resulting in a failure of the air valve.
Risk: Failure of the valve in an empty or lightly loaded trailer while the vehicle is in motion could result in a hard application of the spring brakes, possibly locking up the trailer wheels and resulting in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Sealco will provide a repair kit and installation instructions to customers free of charge. 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 sealco at 602-253-1007 or wabash at 765-771-5404.
Recall 03V-208: Trailer Hitches
Problem: On certain flat bed trailers equipped with kinedyne winches that attach to the lower flange of a flat bed trailer's side rail, through repeated use of the winch to secure cargo on the back of a flat bed trailer, and because of forklifts striking the winches, the winch clip can become damaged/bent and "open up."
Risk: This "opening up" could allow the winch to come loose from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the winch system including the winch clips. Owner notification began june 30, 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 wabash at 1-756-771-5300.
Recall 00V-093: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Vehicle description: trailer axle suspensions installed on wabash national trailers were assembled with incorrect brake camshafts. These trailers will not comply with the deceleration or parking requirements of FMVSS no. 121, "air brake systems."
Risk: The brakes will not function properly. These trailers will also have diminished stopping distance performance and reduced parking (Hill holding) capability.
Fix: The trailer owners (Jb hunt) will inspect the axle suspensions and correct the brake camshaft condition.
