What is wrong
Meritor Wabco Vehicle Control Systems (Meritor Wabco) is recalling certain trailer spring brake control valves sold as replacement parts with dates codes ending in 0113 through 1113. The affected spring brake control valves (SBCV) have an intake/exhaust valve which may come apart and prevent the parking brake from engaging.
What can happen
If the trailer parking brakes do not engage, an unattached trailer could unexpectedly roll away, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to those nearby.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
Meritor Wabco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the spring brake control valves, free of charge. The recall began in April 7, 2014. Owners may contact Meritor Wabco at 1-248-435-8001.

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.
