- Problem
- Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Van Trailers manufactured December 9, 2013, to August 25, 2015, and equipped with certain Meritor EX225L2, EX225L+, and Bendix ADB22X axles.

- Risk
- If the caliper detaches from the axle flange, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2016. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404.

What this recall means for you
Some trailers built between December 2013 and August 2015 may have brake caliper mounting bolts that were not properly tightened. Over time, these bolts can back out, allowing the brake caliper to detach from the axle flange.
If a caliper detaches, braking performance is reduced, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should not ignore this recall or assume their brakes are unaffected.
The repair is free. Dealers will inspect the caliper bolts and tighten them as necessary. Owners will be notified by the manufacturer, Wabash, and can contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
