2011 ROSA ROSA TRAILERS
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Rosa Trailer Manufacturing is recalling certain 2011 model year trailers manufactured between October 10, 2010 and January 31, 2011 that are equipped with Gunite automatic slack adjusters. The slack adjuster housings may have inadequate structural integrity due to incomplete "knitting" of the iron during casting, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.
If a slack adjuster housing breaks, the wheel brake attached to it would no longer function, reducing the vehicle's braking capacity. If the slack adjuster is mounted on the steer axle, the vehicle could pull to one side and possibly crash. To remedy this issue, Rosa Trailer will notify owners and dealers will replace the slack adjusters free of charge. The recall began in mid-February 2012. Affected owners should contact Rosa Trailers at 1-715-478-3435.
