The problem
Silver eagle is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 hawk, tandem and falcon dollies manufactured from november 18, 2010, through march 24, 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
Silver eagle will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before july 1, 2011. Owners may contact accuride at 1-855-857-8645.
