Campaign:
03V359000 on 10/07/2003
Component:
Service brakes, air:antilock:abs warning light
Manufactured:
07/31/2000 - 09/29/2003
Affected:
3,676
Defect:
On certain converter dollies equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control units (ecu). if the trailer-mounted abs warning lamp circuit experiences an electrical short and the short is not repaired, 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 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 silver eagle at 1-800-547-6792.
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:
13V373000 on 08/22/2013
Component:
Suspension:rear:axle:non-powered axle assembly
Manufactured:
07/31/2000 - 10/30/2000
Affected:
155
Defect:
Silver eagle manufacturing company (silver eagle) is recalling certain model year 1999-2001 vast20w and 2001 csl20w trailer converter dollies. the affected dollies were incorrectly built to have a hole in the center of the axle beam pointing downward. the hole at the bottom causes a stress crack in the tension side of the beam resulting in axle failure.
Consequence:
If the axle fails, the dolly could steer erratically, causing swerving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Silver eagle will notify owners and instruct them to inspect their dollies for the position of the axle beam center hole. anyone that has an affected dolly can get get a free replacement axle beam (installation is the owners responsibility) or $500 towards a replacement dolly for scrapping their old dolly. the recall began on september 20, 2013. owners may contact silver eagle at 1-800-547-6792.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
