What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Hyundai Translead (HT) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Original, Composite, Composite XT, HyCube and Dolly trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2014 equipped with certain Haldex Life Seal Type 30/30 Long Stroke Air Brake Actuators. The affected vehicles may experience brake drag due to an improperly seated diaphragm in the brake chamber.

The risk

Brake drag may result in a wheel end fire.

The remedy

Hyundai Translead will notify owners, and dealers will replace the actuators, free of charge. The recall began on August 21, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai Translead customer service at 1-800-251-0871.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
