Description
Silver Eagle Manufacturing Company (Silver Eagle) is recalling certain 2018 Vast20W converter dolly trailers, equipped with MPA/MTA suspensions and Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting flange. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
What to do
Silver Eagle has notified owners, and fleets will be reimbursed by Meritor to inspect the bolts, and replace any loose or missing ones. The recall began on October 10, 2017. Owners may contact Silver Eagle customer service at 1-800-547-6792 or the Meritor call center at 1-866-668-7221.
