Subject: TRAILER SYSTEM-GUARDPRODUCT IMPROVEMENT

Bendix® Commercial Vehicle Systems has determined that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in the Trailer System-Guard Air Dryer. A product recall has been issued.

The defect is that the retaining bolts for the reed valve covers on either end of the Trailer System-Guard air dryer may crack, causing the bolt heads to come off. If this occurs, the trailer can lose service braking and/or the trailer parking brakes can engage without warning. There have been no reports of any accidents or injuries.

The Trailer System-Guard Air Dryer piece numbers below are to be removed and replaced with service piece number 800765. These piece numbers will include a reinforcing strap over the reed valve cover and additional mounting hardware (shown) that will isolate the Trailer System-Guard from the mounting surface to prevent stress from being placed on the unit.
