Tractor trailer veers left on highway. 1994 nissan strikes left side of 2001 strick trailer, underrides the trailer, severely compromising the occupant capsule. Side underride injures at least 1900 people per year, killing at least 77 per year, likely much higher. A simple guard along the sides of trailers would prevent compromise of the occupant capsule in impacts at speeds otherwise survivable. The guard can be covered in such a manner that it improves the fuel efficiency, more than offsetting any loss of fuel efficiency due to extra weight, and saves more money than the cost of the guard itself.

Service brakes, air: antilock: ABS warning light
- What is wrong
- On certain trailers equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control units (ecu). If the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp circuit experiences an electrical short and the short is not repaired, the high side power switch inside the ecu that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
- Risk
- If the power switch shorts, it can result in an over-current condition in the ecu and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
- Remedy
- Bendix will provide a remedy kit and detailed instructions and also provide a labor allowance for the repair. 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 bendix at 1‑800‑478‑1793 or strick at 1‑215‑949‑3600.
Recall number 03V432000 · Recall details
Service brakes, air: supply: check valve
- What is wrong
- On certain trailers equipped with bendix sr-2, sr-4, and sr-5 trailer spring brake valve assemblies, the molded rubber face of the inlet/exhaust valve (I/e valve) component of the affected valves can separate from the valve's metal insert. Air can be trapped by a separated I/e valve causing it to balloon and block the exhaust passage of the trailer spring brake circuit.
- Risk
- This condition can result in the affected vehicles being unable to apply the trailer parking/emergency spring brakes during parking in the event of a trailer supply line failure. Unintended rollaway could occur, possibly resulting in personal injury or death to the vehicle occupant or any bystanders.
- Remedy
- Bendix will notify customers and provide a repair kit and installation instructions 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 bendix at 440‑329‑9000 or strick at 704‑436‑2441.
