Service brakes, air: antilock: ABS warning light
- What is wrong
- On certain van, reefer, and duraplate van 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.

Recall number 03V428000 · Recall details
Service brakes, air: supply: check valve
- What is wrong
- 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.
- 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 wabash at 765‑771‑5404.

- Risk
- This "opening up" could allow the winch to come loose from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
