What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Silver Eagle Manufacturing Company (Silver Eagle) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 VAST-20N, VAST-20W, and CTL-40W Converter Dollies manufactured February 6, 2014, to March 4, 2015. Due to a problem with the brake valve, the affected dollies may experience brake drag.

The risk

If the brakes drag on the converter dolly, the wheel end may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Silver Eagle will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake valve, free of charge. The recall began on July 8, 2015. Owners may contact Silver Eagle customer service at 1-800-547-6792.

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.
