What happened

Wabash National Corporation is recalling certain 2018 Van trailers equipped with MPA/MTA suspensions and Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on these trailers may not be properly torqued, which could allow the caliper to detach from the mounting flange and result in a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

Wabash will notify owners and dealers will inspect the bolts at no charge, replacing any that are loose or missing. The recall began on November 14, 2017. Owners of affected trailers should contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5300.
