2001 STOUGHTON TRAILER Recalls (2)

Campaign:
02V139013 on 09/02/2002
Component:
Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
Manufactured:
07/31/2000 - 09/29/2001
Affected:
3,988
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 stoughton at 608-873-2500.
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:
03V376000 on 10/09/2003
Component:
Service brakes, air:antilock:abs warning light
Manufactured:
08/31/2002 - 05/30/2003
Affected:
4,636
Defect:
On certain trailers 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 stoughton at 1-608-873-2500.
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).
