All recalls

Service brakes, air: antilock: ABS warning lightReported October 7, 2003 · 307 vehicles affected
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 utility at 626‑965‑1541.

Suspension: front: hubReported May 24, 2000 · 271 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Vehicle description: van-refrigerated/dry freight trailers equipped with conmet pregreased trailer hubs and a tire inflation system. The outboard bearing on the pregreased trailer axle hubs used with the tire inflation systems may fail due to the intrusion of contaminants through the tire inflation system.
Risk
An outboard bearing failure can result in a separation of the hub assembly from the spindle.
Remedy
Authorized dealers are instructed to convert greased hubs to oil hubs if the tire inflation system is to remain on the trailer. If the tire inflation system is removed, the hub must be inspected for contamination and corrosion. The hub and bearing assembly must be replaced if there is evidence of corrosion. If there is no evidence of corrosion, lubricant and seal manitenance can be performed and the hub reinstalled.
