What this recall means for you
Certain 2014-2015 Hyundai Translead trailers and converter dollies, built between January 1 and December 31, 2014, may have Haldex Life Seal Type 30/30 Long Stroke air brake actuators with a diaphragm that is not properly seated in the brake chamber. This can cause the brakes to drag, meaning they stay partially applied when they should release.
Brake drag creates excess heat at the wheel end, and this heat can result in a wheel-end fire. Owners of affected trailers should take this recall seriously and check whether their unit is included.
Hyundai Translead will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the air brake actuators free of charge. Owners can contact Hyundai Translead customer service at 1-800-251-0871, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
