02E028000Received 22 Apr 2002. 230,003 units.
Service Brakes, Air / Supply / Check Valve
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Equipment description: spring brake control valve assemblies, part nos. 110700 and 110800, for use on 1994-2000 trailers. These brake valves were produced between march 1, 1994, and march 31, 2000. There is a recessed area on top of the valve in which a brass guide pin fits down inside the body of the valve and is held in place by a steel snap ring. The recessed area allows accumulation of water, dirt, and/or chemicals to build up behind the snap ring to the point where it will no longer contain the guide pin resulting in a failure of the air valve.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Failure of the valve in an empty or lightly loaded trailer while the vehicle is in motion could result in a hard application of the spring brakes, possibly locking up the trailer wheels and resulting in a vehicle crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Sealco will provide a repair kit and installation instructions to its customers free of charge. Owner notification began june 25, 2002. 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 sealco at 602-253-1007.
