  • Brand WEST-MARK

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

West-Mark is recalling one 2011 2TANCX3A tanker trailer manufactured with an MPA/MTA suspension equipped with Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on this axle may not be properly torqued, which could allow the calipers to detach from the mounting flange. If the calipers detach, braking ability would be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, West-Mark will notify the owner and a dealer will inspect the bolts, replacing any loose or missing ones at no charge. Owners should contact West-Mark customer service at 1-800-692-5844 and reference recall number C17AB.
