2010 TRANSCRAFT PLATFORM; 2011 TRANSCRAFT PLATFORM
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Transcraft Corporation is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 platform semi-trailers manufactured between October 15, 2010, and January 31, 2011, that are equipped with Gunite automatic slack adjusters. Due to incomplete knitting of the iron during casting, the slack adjuster housing may have inadequate structural integrity and could crack at the handle under normal braking conditions, potentially causing loss of braking ability and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Transcraft will notify owners and replace the affected slack adjusters free of charge. The recall began on September 27, 2011. Affected owners may contact Accuride at 1-812-962-5000 or Transcraft at 1-877-489-9020.
