What NHTSA recorded

On certain custom built specialty trailers equipped with dexter axles and crewson automatic slack adjusters, the push rod arms on the axle brakes are too long.

Possible consequence

Push rod arms that are too long could cause damage to the slack adjuster or impede proper brake adjustment, resulting in accidental damage including personal injury, property damage or both.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the push rods for the correct length. If damaged the slack adjuster will be repaired or replaced. If not damaged, the push rods will be shortened by cutting to .26".
