Defect. West-Mark is recalling one 2011 2TANCX3A tanker trailer manufactured with an MPA/MTA suspension equipped with Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on this axle may not be properly torqued which can allow the calipers to detach from the mounting flange. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake System."

Risk. If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting flange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. West-Mark will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect the bolts, replacing any loose or missing ones, free of charge. The recall began on October 26, 2017. Owners may contact West-Mark customer service at 1-800-692-5844. West-Mark's number for this recall is C17AB.

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.
