2001 Brenner Tank Trailer recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: trailers equipped with bendix antilock brake system (ABS) electronic control module (ECU). The ABS on these vehicles does not contain the industry standard power line carrier (plc) chip required to provide an ABS malfunction signal to the towing vehicle as required by FMVSS no. 121, "air brake systems."
💥 The risk
Without the plc chip in the Trailer ECU module, the ABS malfunction signal to the towing vehicle will not function.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the ECU module. Owner notification began october 9, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact brenner at 1-800-558-9750.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
