Excel Limited: Brakes

Affects Excel Limited · 2006–2007 — about 6 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain fifth wheel trailers, the disc brake caliper mounting bolts may strip. Insufficient clamp load between the caliper and yoke can cause the caliper to disassemble and adversely affect the trailer's braking system. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a new larger caliper mounting nut.
