Service Brakes, Air / Supply / Check Valve
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain trailers equipped with sealco spring brake control valve assemblies incorporated in arvinmeritor axles, part nos. 110700 and 110800, 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.

Trailer Hitches
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain flat bed trailers equipped with kinedyne winches that attach to the lower flange of a flat bed trailer's side rail, through repeated use of the winch to secure cargo on the back of a flat bed trailer, and because of forklifts striking the winches, the winch clip can become damaged/bent and "open up."
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record

- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
