What this recall means for you
Certain 2014-2015 Advance Engineered dry bulk cargo tank 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.
If the spring brakes are slow to apply, the trailer may roll away after it has been uncoupled from the tractor, which increases the risk of a crash or injury.
