Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Kalyn is recalling certain 2011 model year flatbed trailers manufactured between January 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 of the housing, which may cause the housing to break at the handle under normal braking conditions. This could lead to a loss of braking ability and potentially cause a vehicle crash.
Owners of affected trailers should contact Gunite at 1-855-857-8645. Kalyn will notify owners and dealers, and dealers will replace the faulty slack adjusters free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2011.
