Defect:

Kalyn is recalling certain model year 2011 12tsab, 12tsaf, kdp, kshrg, lbo and mhu100 flatbed trailers manufactured from january 2011, through march 2011 and equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters. due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.

Consequence:

Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.

Correction:

Kalyn will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. the safety recall began on march 30, 2011. owners may contact gunite at 1-855-857-8645.
