What is wrong
VT Hackney, Inc. (VT Hackney) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Kidron refrigerated trailers, and Hackney Beverage Trailers manufactured February 1, 2014, to June 1, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR-5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
What can happen
If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
VT Hackney will notify owners and any affected SR-5 valves will be replaced by kits ordered from Bendix, free of charge. VT Hackney issued an interim notification to owners on August 10, 2016. The recall began on August 24, 2016. Owners may contact VT Hackney customer service at 1-800-763-0700.

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.
