What was wrong

Defect

Meritor Wabco Vehicle Control Systems (Meritor Wabco) is recalling certain trailer spring brake control valves sold as replacement parts with dates codes ending in 0113 through 1113. The affected spring brake control valves (SBCV) have an intake/exhaust valve which may come apart and prevent the parking brake from engaging.

Risk

If the trailer parking brakes do not engage, an unattached trailer could unexpectedly roll away, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to those nearby.

Manufacturer remedy

Meritor Wabco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the spring brake control valves, free of charge. The recall began in April 7, 2014. Owners may contact Meritor Wabco at 1-248-435-8001.
