Service Brakes, Air / Antilock

On certain federal express (fed-ex) trucks equipped with haldex antilock brake system (ABS) electronic control unit (ECU) valves, the valves need to be modified in order to relocate the valves in an upright position. The valves contain a ball seat piston that may become dislodged during an ABS event and not perform properly.

Suspension
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain van and refrigerated semi-trailers equipped with tuthill suspensions, model 20/22ar and rs3162, the beam/axle pivot connection joint is mis-aligned causing excessive play with the trailer allowing the trailer to wander.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Should the trailer wander a vehicle crash could occur without notice.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Great dane is working with tuthill to notify the owners of the affected vehicles and provide free remedy. Owners may contact tuthill at 800-753-0025 or great dane at 912-644-2100.
