Defect. Cheetah Chassis Corporation (Cheetah) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Tandem Axle Extendable Chassis trailers, 2015-2016 Tandem Axle and Single Axle Straight Frame Chassis trailers, 2014-2016 Tandem Axle Gooseneck Chassis trailers, 2015 Tandem Axle Flatbed trailers, 2015-2016 Tridem Axle Bridgemaster Chassis trailers and 2016 Tandem Axle Curtain side Flatbed trailers. These trailers are equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves which may have been improperly machined which could cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.

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.

Remedy. Cheetah will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2016. Owners may contact Cheetah Customer Service Department at 1-570-752-2709.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
