The problem
Strick Trailers, LLC (Strick) is recalling certain model year 2015 tandem axle 53 foot van trailers manufactured August 18, 2014, to August 28, 2014, and 2017 tandem axle 53 foot van trailers manufactured November 23, 2015, to December 17, 2015, equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined, which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
The risk
If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
