The problem
Wilson trailer is recalling certain model year 2011 grain trailers 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
Wilson trailer will notify owners the slack adjusters will be replaced free of charge. The safety recall began on october 10, 2011. Owners may contact accuride at 1-812-962-5000 or wison trailer at 1-712-252-6477.
