What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle equipment: petroleum tanker trailers equiped with bendix air brake system air dryers. The retaining bolts for the reed covers on either end of the trailer air dryer may crack causing the bolt heads to come off.

Possible consequence

The air brake system can leak air out from the air dryer causing a low air warning buzzer and eventually the trailer parking brakes coming to full apply or the trailer's parking brakes can engage without prior warning.

Remedy

Bendix is conducting the owner notification for this recall. Owners are instructed to contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 to receive a replacement unit. Bendix will replace the trailer air dryers without charge.
