Recall campaignsA 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.

20 units potentially affected
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.

What a recall is

Safety recall
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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
