NHTSA Campaign 16V505000

PARKING BRAKE

Issued by VT Hackney, Inc. · Reported Jul 5, 2016 · 360 vehicles affected

What's wrong

VT Hackney, Inc. (VT Hackney) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Kidron refrigerated trailers, and Hackney Beverage Trailers manufactured February 1, 2014, to June 1, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR-5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.

Consequence

If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy

VT Hackney will notify owners and any affected SR-5 valves will be replaced by kits ordered from Bendix, free of charge. VT Hackney issued an interim notification to owners on August 10, 2016. The recall began on August 24, 2016. Owners may contact VT Hackney customer service at 1-800-763-0700.
