VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PLATFORM TRAILERS AND DOLLIES. THE TUBING INSTALLED IN THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE PLATFORM TRAILERS WAS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH THE TUBING FITTINGS USED IN THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE TUBING INSTALLED ON THE DOLLIES DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPER LABELING AND MINIMUM BURST STRENGTH. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 106, "BRAKE HOSES." Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BRAKE SYSTEM TUBING AND REPLACE THE NONCOMPLIANT TUBING INSTALLED IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM.
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. 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 ROCKWELL AT 1-810-435-8001 OR DORSEY TRAILERS AT 1-334-897-5711.
