Defect. ON CERTAIN CONVERTER DOLLIES, THE CHECK VALVE BETWEEN THE AIR RESERVOIR AND THE BOOSTER VALVE WAS INSTALLED IN THE REVERSE POSITION WITH THE ARROW ON THE VALVE POINTING TOWARDS THE AIR RESERVOIR.
Risk. THIS CAN RESULT IN LOW AIR PRESSURE TO THE BOOSTER VALVE. THIS ALSO CREATES A BRAKING TIMING ISSUE TO THE TRAILER UNIT(S).
Remedy. THE CHECK VALVE WILL BE RE-PLUMBED, ARROW POINTING TOWARDS THE BOOSTER VALVE, TO PROVIDE CORRECT AIR FLOW. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON APRIL 26, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT STRICK AT 1-215-949-3600.

THE HANDLES WILL BE RELOCATED BACK BEHIND THE OLD LOOP AND A NEW LOOP WILL BE WELDED IN PLACE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON MAY 3, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT STRICK AT 1-215-949-3600.

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.
