What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

West-Mark is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Sugar Tank trailers manufactured October 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015 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

West-Mark has notified their affected customers, and dealers will remove and replace the Haldex Life Seal Type 30/30 long stroke actuators with Haldex Gold Seal Type 30/30 long stroke actuators, free of charge. The recall began on May 12, 2016. Owners may contact West-Mark customer service at 1-800-692-5844. Owners may also contact Haldex customer service at 1-800-752-2501 or [email protected].

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.
