Problem: Utility trailer is recalling certain model year 2011 vs2ra heavy duty trucks, manufactured from december 2010 through march 2011, equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters. Due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.

Risk: Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.

Fix: Utility trailer will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during march 2011. Owners may contact gunite at 1-800-677-3786.
