ON CERTAIN TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SPRING BRAKE CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLIES, 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. Remedy: SEALCO WILL PROVIDE A REPAIR KIT AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ITS 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 GREAT DANE AT 912-644-2100.
THE CHAIN TIE ANCHOR MOUNTING WELDS CAN CRACK AND/OR THE CHAIN TIE CAN PULL OUT FROM THE CROSSMEMBER. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL THE CHAIN TIE ANCHORS MOUNTED TO THE ALUMINUM CROSSMEMBERS TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL FASTENING TO THE CROSSMEMBER AND ADDITIONAL WELDING AND REINFORCEMENT OF THE CHAIN TIE ANCHORS ON STEEL CROSSMEMBERS.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS (ECU) FOR OVER-THE-ROAD TRAILER APPLICATIONS. THE COVER SEAL (O-RING) MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED IN CERTAIN EASY-STOP TRAILER ABS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS. AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED SEAL COULD PERMIT WATER TO ENTER THE ECU CAUSING A FAULT TO DEVELOP. THIS WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE'S TRAILER ABS WARNING LAMP TO ILLUMINATE IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE WATER CONTACTS THE BOARD, DEACTIVATING ALL OR PART OF THE ABS. Remedy: ROCKWELL IS CONDUCTING THE NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECU ON THESE TRAILERS.

NOTE: PLATFORM TRAILERS. THE CARGO PULL-UP CHAIN TIES MAY FAIL AT THEIR MOUNTINGS. THIS COULD RESULT IN FATIGUE FAILURE OF THE CHAIN TIE CONNECTION AND THE CHAIN TIE PULLING OFF THE CROSSMEMBER. SUCH AN OCCURRENCE COULD RESULT IN LOAD SHIFTING AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: REPLACEMENT OF ALL CHAIN TIES MOUNTED TO ALUMINUM CROSSMEMBERS TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL FASTENING TO THE CROSSMEMBER AND ADDITIONAL WELDING AND REINFORCEMENT OF THE CHAIN TIES ON STEEL CROSSMEMBERS.
