NHTSA #16V474000

Reported June 28, 2016 · Cheetah Chassis Corporation

Potentially affected: 289 vehicles

Defect description

Cheetah Chassis Corporation (Cheetah) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Tandem Axle Extendable Chassis trailers, 2015-2016 Tandem Axle and Single Axle Straight Frame Chassis trailers, 2014-2016 Tandem Axle Gooseneck Chassis trailers, 2015 Tandem Axle Flatbed trailers, 2015-2016 Tridem Axle Bridgemaster Chassis trailers and 2016 Tandem Axle Curtain side Flatbed trailers. These trailers are equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves which may have been improperly machined which could cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.

Safety consequence

If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
