What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake system) that increases the risk of a crash or injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
MANAC Trailers USA, Inc. is recalling certain 2016 Flatbed trailers, model 10850B069, manufactured between October 1, 2014, and October 31, 2014. These trailers are equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves that may have been improperly machined.
The defect could cause a delay in the application of the spring brakes while parking. If the spring brakes are delayed, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
MANAC will contact owners to provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves free of charge. The recall began on September 2, 2016. Owners may contact MANAC customer service at 1-573-262-2166 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
