What this recall means for you
Certain 2015-2017 Wabash National van trailers, built between January 1, 2014 and May 10, 2016, may have Bendix SR5 spring brake valves that were improperly machined. This can delay the spring brakes from engaging when the trailer is parked.
If the spring brakes apply late, the trailer may roll away after it has been uncoupled from the tractor, which raises the risk of a crash or injury.
Wabash will contact owners and provide a free remedy kit with instructions to repair the affected SR5 trailer relay valves. Owners can call Wabash Customer Service at 1-765-771-5300. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
