What is wrong
Cheetah Chassis Corporation (Cheetah) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Bridgemaster, 2017 Extendable and 2017-2018 Maximizer, Tank, Gooseneck, and Heavy Duty trailer chassis. The air brake diaphragm on these vehicles may degrade and allow the brake system air to leak from the quick release valve causing the emergency brakes to engage.
What can happen
Partial or full application of the emergency brakes can cause the wheel-end to overheat or a drag slowing or stopping the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Cheetah will notify owners, and service centers will install heavy duty diaphragms in the quick release valves, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2017. Owners may contact Cheetah customer service at 1-704-436-2590.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
