The problem
Wabash is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 vans manufactured from october 15, 2010 through january 31, 2011, and equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters. Due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.
The risk
Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Wabash will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. The safety recall began on may 12, 2011. Owners may contact gunite customer service at 1-800-677-3786 or wabash at 765-771-5605.
