What is wrong
ON CERTAIN TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH A SPECIFIC COMBINATION OF REYCO SUSPENSION, EATON DRIVE AXLE, AND BENDIX SLACK ADJUSTERS, THE FAILURE OF A DRIVE AXLE SLACK ADJUSTER TO AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST AS REQUIRED TO COMPENSATE FOR BRAKE WEAR, WILL CAUSE AN OUT OF ADJUSTMENT CONDITION. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS AND IS NOT IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED THROUGH NORMAL INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE, THE SLACK ADJUSTER WILL OVER-ROTATE AND MAY CONTACT THE SUSPENSION LOWER SPRING SADDLE.
What can happen
IF THIS OCCURS, BRAKING PERFORMANCE WILL BE INHIBITED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
CRANE CARRIER WILL SUPPLY, AT NO CHARGE, GUNITE SLACK ADJUSTERS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO REPLACE THE EXISTING BENDIX SLACK ADJUSTERS ON THE DRIVE AXLE. THE INSTALLING FACILITY WILL BE REIMBURSED BY CRANE FOR ONE (1) HOUR LABOR PER VEHICLE AT THEIR POSTED LABOR RATE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 10, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CRANE AT 1-918-832-7305.

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.
