Summary

Wilson Trailer Company (Wilson) is recalling certain model year 2015 DWH-550, and CD-1080 trailers manufactured November 20, 2015, equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.

Safety Risk

If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Wilson issued an interim notification to owners on August 18, 2016. The recall began on August 26, 2016. Owners may contact Wilson Customer Service Department at 1-800-798-2002.
