2001 BEALL TRAILER Recalls (2)
- Campaign:
- 02V139023 on 09/04/2002
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
- Manufactured:
- 02/29/2000 - 04/29/2002
- Affected:
- 11
- 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.
- 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).
- Campaign:
- 04V384000 on 08/10/2004
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:antilock:abs warning light
- Manufactured:
- 01/31/2001 - 03/30/2001
- Affected:
- 2
- Defect:
- On two (2) tank trailers equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control unit (ecu), the high side power switch inside the ecu that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted abs warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
- 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 replace the ec-30t ecu with another unit. owner should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 or beall at 1-503-737-2146.
