Defect description

Westmor Industries, LLC. (Westmor) is recalling certain model year 2003-2013 trailers equipped with Fisher-branded H732 and H832 pressure relief valves, manufactured by Emerson Process Management Regulatory Technologies, Inc. (Emerson) between January 2003 and January 2013. The stem of the valve may break, resulting in separation. This may result in the valve being ejected and pressurized gas being released into the atmosphere.

Safety risk

The ejected valve could strike another vehicle and cause personal injury or a vehicle crash. The release of gas near an ignition source could also lead to a vehicle fire.

Manufacturer remedy

Westmor will notify owners and Emerson will replace the valves free of charge. The recall began on May 14, 2013. Customers may contact Westmor at 1-800-992-8981.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
