The defect
Brenner Tank, LLC (Brenner) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Liquid Tank trailers manufactured March 14, 2013, to March 30, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR-5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
The 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.
