Reported Dec 20, 201715 vehicles affectedWalker Stainless Equipment Company LLCMaker’s number W-6430 W-6431Built Apr 26, 2017 – Jun 19, 2017

The defect

Walker Stainless Equipment Company LLC (Walker) is recalling certain 2018 Tank Trailers, equipped with MPA/MTA suspensions and Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting flange. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

The risk

If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued, the caliper can detach resulting in a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Walker has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the bolts, replacing any loose or missing ones, free of charge. The recall began on January 5, 2018. Owners may contact Walker customer service at 1-800-356-5734. Walker's numbers for this recall are W-6430 and W-6431.
