What is wrong
Walker Stainless Equipment Company LLC (Walker) is recalling certain 2018 Tank Trailers, equipped with MPA/MTA suspensions and Meritor EX225 brakes.

If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued, the caliper can detach resulting in a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
