Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Vanguard National Trailer Corporation is recalling certain 2015-2016 CIMC Dry Freight and Refrigerated trailers manufactured between October 22, 2014, and October 2, 2015, that are equipped with specific Meritor EX225L2 or EX225L+ axles. The trailers have air disc brake calipers that may detach from the axle flange because caliper bolts were not properly tightened during manufacturing, which could reduce braking performance and increase crash risk.
Owners of affected trailers should contact Vanguard customer service at 1-219-253-2000 or Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221 to have dealers inspect and tighten the caliper bolts free of charge. The recall number is 15E083.
