Automatic Slack Adjuster
Description
E.D. Etnyre & Co. (Etnyre) is recalling certain model year 2012 asphalt tanker trailers, heavy haul trailers, and live bottom trailers manufactured November 2010, through April 2011, and equipped with Gunite Automatic Slack Adjusters. Due to 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.
Injuries / Consequence
Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Etnyre has notified owners and all defective slack adjusters were replaced, free of charge. The recall began in April 2011. Owners may contact Etnyre at 1-800-995-2116.
