Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Silver Eagle Manufacturing Company is recalling certain 2010-2011 model year Hawk, Tandem, and Falcon dollies manufactured between November 18, 2010, and March 24, 2011, that are equipped with Gunite automatic slack adjusters. The slack adjusters have a defect in the iron casting that can cause inadequate structural integrity in the housing, which may crack under normal braking conditions and lead to loss of braking capability.
According to the recall, dealers will replace the affected slack adjusters free of charge, with the safety recall expected to begin on or before July 1, 2011. Owners should contact Accuride at 1-855-857-8645.
