Reported Jul 11, 2016 · Polar Tank Trailer, LLC.

Summary

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.

Remedy

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.
