What this recall means for you
Certain trailers have Bendix SR5 spring brake valves that may have been improperly machined. This can delay the spring brakes from engaging when the trailer is parked, so the trailer may not hold its position after it has been uncoupled from the tractor.
If the spring brakes are delayed, the trailer can roll away after decoupling, which raises the risk of a crash or injury. Owners should contact Hyundai Translead customer service at 1-819-574-1500 and reference recall number 16E-045. The remedy is still being developed, so the company can confirm the current repair plan and timing when you call. Check your trailer's VIN for open recalls as well.
