TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOP HAT BRAND 5 X 8 UTILITY TRAILER (NA). HE STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH DOWN AN INCLINE; THE TRAILER DETACHED FROM THE 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO.

TEREX IS RECALLING 17 MY 2009 DFPR, DFPR SF, DFPR CA, DFP HD, LFPR AND HFT85-3 TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH HALDEX AIR BRAKE SYSTEM CONTROL VALVE. THE RUBBER DIAPHRAGM USED INSIDE THE QUICK RELEASE VALVE (QRV) MAY DELAMINATE AND MAY CAUSE LEAKAGE LEVELS PAST AND/OR THROUGH THE DIAPHRAGM IN EXCESS OF PERMISSIBLE SPECIFICATIONS, OR COULD CAUSE A RESTRICTION IN THE AIR FLOW, THEREBY EFFECTING PRESSURE DELIVERY TO THE SERVICE BRAKES AND NOT ALLOW THE SERVICE BRAKES TO RELEASE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: TEREX IS WORKING WITH HALDEX AND WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE ALL EFFECTED QRVS FREE OF CHARGE. PLEASE SEE 09E-004. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JUNE 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HALDEX AT 1-620-365-6911 OR TEREX AT 1-425-556-6588.
