Description
Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 78V231000 by Pike Trailer Company. Includes 560 affected units, BRAKES:VALVE SOLENOID, component: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR, and more from the Department of Transportation.
Defect Summary
The piston in the antilock valve could stick due to exposure to high concentrations of fluid contaminants that may collect in the trailer braking system. Consequently, no air would be delivered to the braking chambers normally supplied by this valve. This would result in a "no brake" condition on the affected axles. This failure would constitute a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems".
Corrective Action
The suspect valve will be inspected and, if necessary, replaced without charge to owner.
