Defect description

Wilson Trailer Company (Wilson) is recalling certain model year 2015 DWH-550, and CD-1080 trailers manufactured November 20, 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.

Safety 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.

Manufacturer remedy

Wilson will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. Wilson issued an interim notification to owners on August 18, 2016. The recall began on August 26, 2016. Owners may contact Wilson Customer Service Department at 1-800-798-2002. Wilson's number for this recall is 132P.
