| Defect Summary | On certain trailers equipped with spring brake control valve assemblies, there is a recessed area on top of the valve in which a brass guide pin fits down inside the body of the valve and is held in place by a steel snap ring. the recessed area allows accumulation of water, dirt, and/or chemicals to build up behind the snap ring to the point where it will no longer contain the guide pin resulting in a failure of the air valve. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Failure of the valve in an empty or lightly loaded trailer while the vehicle is in motion could result in a hard application of the spring brakes, possibly locking up the trailer wheels and resulting in a vehicle crash. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Vehicle description: trailers equipped with 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 Summary | 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Rockwell is conducting the notification and remedy for this recall dealers will replace the ecu on these trailers. | |||||||||||||||
