Defect: Polar Tank Trailer, LLC (Polar Tank) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 DOT 406, DOT 407, DOT 412, MC 331 and Non-Code trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to April 28, 2016. These trailers are equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves which may have been improperly machined which could cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
Risk: If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Fix: Polar Tank Trailer will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. The recall began on October 3, 2016. Owners may contact Polar Tank customer service at 1-320-746-2255.
