Defect. Hyundai Translead (HT) is recalling certain model year 2004-2016 Dry Van, Reefer Van, Chassis, and Container trailers manufactured January 4, 2004, to March 4, 2016. 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. The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall began on August 4, 2016. Owners may contact HT customer service at 1-819-574-1500. HT's number for this recall is 16E-045.

THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION HANGER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE HEAVY ENOUGH TO PREVENT FAILURE FROM TIGHT RIGHT HAND TURNS WITH A LOADED TRAILER.

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.
