- Campaign:
- 00V386004 on 07/19/2001
- Component:
- Wheels:cap/cover/hub
- Manufactured:
- 04/13/2000 - 06/06/2000
- Affected:
- 1,032
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: trailers equipped with hubs provided by webb wheel products. these truck trailer disc wheel hubs have direct-machined anti-lock braking systems (abs), part number 2023a, and manufactured between april 14 and june 7, 2000. the abs teeth are machined into the inner face of the hub bore, and the teeth are machined off center from the center of the hub. the speed sensor of the abs system reads the tooth pattern and sends erroneous signals to the abs control unit.
- Consequence:
- This condition can cause the abs system to cycle rapidly and extend stopping distances during an abs controlled brake application possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Webb wheel will notify the customers to inspect for defective hubs and will replace the hubs free of charge.
- Notes:
- Webb wheel is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign.owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact webb wheel at 1-800-633-3256 or kentucky at 1-502-637-2551. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
- Campaign:
- 02V139004 on 05/29/2002
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
- Manufactured:
- 03/31/2000 - 10/30/2000
- Affected:
- 623
- Defect:
- On certain trailers equipped with bendix sr-2, sr-4, and sr-5 trailer spring brake valve assemblies, the molded rubber face of the inlet/exhaust valve (i/e valve) component of the affected valves can separate from the valve's metal insert. air can be trapped by a separated i/e valve causing it to balloon and block the exhaust passage of the trailer spring brake circuit.
- Consequence:
- This condition can result in the affected vehicles being unable to apply the trailer parking/emergency spring brakes during parking in the event of a trailer supply line failure. unintended rollaway could occur, possibly resulting in personal injury or death to the vehicle occupant or any bystanders.
- Correction:
- Bendix will notify customers and provide a repair kit and installation instructions free of charge. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bendix at 440-329-9000 or kentucky at 502-637-2551.
- Notes:
- Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

- Component:
- Service brakes, air:antilock:abs warning light
- Manufactured:
- 09/30/2000 - 11/29/2003
- Affected:
- 1,330
- Defect:

- Consequence:
- If the power switch shorts, it can result in an over-current condition in the ecu and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
- Correction:
- Bendix will provide a remedy kit and detailed instructions and also provide a labor allowance for the repair. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 or kentucky manufacturing at 1-502-637-2551.
