Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:drum
Problem: On certain trailers equipped with webb wheel platinum series brake drums, these brake drums could crack on the braking surface.
Risk: This could result in reduction or complete loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Webb wheel will inspect and replace the brake drums. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact webb wheel at 1-800-633-3256 or utility at 626-854-7217.
Service brakes, air:antilock:abs warning light
Problem: On certain trailers equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control units (ecu). If the trailer-mounted abs warning lamp circuit experiences an electrical short and the short is not repaired, the high side power switch inside the ecu that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted abs warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
Risk: If the power switch shorts, it can result in an over-current condition in the ecu and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
Fix: Bendix will provide a remedy kit and detailed instructions and also provide a labor allowance for the repair. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 or utility at 626-965-1541.
