Defect Summary:
Vanguard National Trailer Corporation (Vanguard) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 CIMC Dry Freight and Refrigerated trailers manufactured October 22, 2014, to October 2, 2015, and equipped with certain Meritor EX225L2 or EX225L+ axles. The affected axle assemblies have caliper bolts that may not have been properly tightened, allowing the caliper mounting bolts to back out and the caliper to detach from the axle flange. Consequence Summary:
If the caliper detaches from the axle flange, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. Corrective Summary:
Vanguard will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 18, 2015. Owners may contact Vanguard customer service at 1-219-253-2000, or Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221. Vanguard's number for this recall is 15E083. Recall Notes:
