Service brakes, air
- What is wrong
- On certain custom built specialty trailers equipped with dexter axles and crewson automatic slack adjusters, the push rod arms on the axle brakes are too long.
- Risk
- Push rod arms that are too long could cause damage to the slack adjuster or impede proper brake adjustment, resulting in accidental damage including personal injury, property damage or both.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the push rods for the correct length. If damaged the slack adjuster will be repaired or replaced. If not damaged, the push rods will be shortened by cutting to .26".

Recall number 03V501000 · Recall details
Service brakes, air: supply: check valve
- What is wrong
- On certain trailers equipped with spring brake control valve assemblies. 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.
- Risk
- 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
- Sealco will provide a repair kit and installation instructions to customers free of charge. 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 or featherlite at 1‑800‑800‑1230.
