Kentucky Trailer Moving Trailer: Brakes

Affects Kentucky Trailer Moving Trailer · 2011 — about 2 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain semi-trailers, the slack adjuster housings may have been manufactured incorrectly, which could allow the housings to fracture and fail. As a result, the wheel brake to which the slack adjuster is attached would no longer function. This could increase vehicle stopping distances and result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the slack adjusters.
