2001 Walker Trailer recalls

Recall 04V-083: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Feb 11, 2004 · 1 vehicles affected · WALKER STAINLESS EQUIPMENT CO INC.

Problem: On certain sanitary trailers equipped with webb wheel platinum series brake drums, these brake drums could crack on the braking surface.

Risk: This could result in reduction or complete loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.

Fix: Webb wheel will inspect and replace the brake drums. 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 webb wheel at 1-800-633-3256 or walker at 1-800-356-5734.

Recall 02V-139: Service Brakes, Air

Reported Aug 15, 2002 · 194 vehicles affected · WALKER EQUIPMENT

Problem: On certain trailers equipped with bendix sr-2, sr-4, and sr-5 trailer spring brake valve assemblies, the molded rubber face of the inlet/exhaust valve (I/e valve) component of the affected valves can separate from the valve's metal insert. Air can be trapped by a separated I/e valve causing it to balloon and block the exhaust passage of the trailer spring brake circuit.

Risk: This condition can result in the affected vehicles being unable to apply the trailer parking/emergency spring brakes during parking in the event of a trailer supply line failure. Unintended rollaway could occur, possibly resulting in personal injury or death to the vehicle occupant or any bystanders.

Fix: Bendix will notify customers and provide a repair kit and installation instructions 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 bendix at 440-329-9000 or walker at 608-562-5767.
