Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2010-2011 dry freight van trailers, refrigerated trailers, container chassis, remac and converter dollies manufactured between October 2010 and March 2011 that are equipped with Gunite automatic slack adjusters. The slack adjusters have a defect in the casting process that can result in inadequate structural integrity, causing the housing to crack at the handle under normal braking conditions, which could lead to loss of braking and potentially cause a vehicle crash.
Hyundai Translead will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective slack adjusters at no charge. The recall began on May 3, 2011. Affected owners should contact Hyundai Translead at 619-680-3144.
