Recall 2003257

The issue

Certain trailers were manufactured with a non-ABS braking system on the front, steerable, axle. The use of conventional (non-ABS) brakes on the front axle could allow a wheel lockup that could in turn lead to jackknifing the trailer. This is particularly a concern when braking hard on a reduced friction surface such as snow or ice. Correction: Dealer will install ABS on the front axle.

Description (français)

Certaines remorques ont été dotées d'un essieu directeur avant sans freins ABS. L'utilisation de freins traditionnels (non ABS) à l'avant peut permettre le blocage des roues et la mise en portefeuille de la remorque, particulièrement lors d'un freinage violent sur une surface à adhérence réduite, comme une route recouverte de neige ou de glace. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront installer des freins ABS sur l'essieu avant.
