Recalled: May 1, 2002 ~230,003 units affected 02E028

Description

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: SPRING BRAKE CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLIES, PART NOS. 110700 AND 110800, FOR USE ON 1994-2000 TRAILERS. THESE BRAKE VALVES WERE PRODUCED BETWEEN MARCH 1, 1994, AND MARCH 31, 2000. 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.

Injuries / Consequence

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.
