Campaign:

97E039000 on 11/24/1997

Component:

Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock

Manufactured:

09/30/1994 - 06/29/1996

Affected:

18,830

Defect:

Equipment description: antilock braking system (abs) electronic control units (ecu) for over-the-road trailer applications. the cover seal (o-ring) may have been improperly installed in certain easy-stop trailer abs electronic control units. an incorrectly installed seal could permit water to enter the ecu causing a fault to develop. this will cause the vehicle's trailer abs warning lamp to illuminate immediately when the water contacts the board, deactivating all or part of the abs.

Consequence:

If the warning lamp signal is ignored for a period of time, corrosion can develop eventually leaking to a complete loss of ecu function. the service brakes would continue to be fully functional.

Correction:

Dealers will replace the ecu on these trailers.
