    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    VT Hackney, Inc. (VT Hackney) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Kidron refrigerated trailers, and Hackney Beverage Trailers manufactured February 1, 2014, to June 1, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR-5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    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.

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    VT Hackney, Inc. (VT Hackney) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Kidron Refrigerated Trailers manufactured August 9, 2013, to June 15, 2015. The affected trailers have a main wiring harness that may not supply adequate power to the connector at the rear of the trailer. This rear connector is used when a second trailer is attached for doubles operation. As a result of the insufficient power, second trailer's anti-lock brake system (ABS) may not function properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the Requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the ABS module on the second trailer does not function properly, the trailer may have an increased braking distance in an emergency braking situation, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    VT Hackney will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional power cable, free of charge. The recall began on August 20, 2015. Owners may contact VT Hackney customer service at 1-800-763-0700.
