2000–2003 East Manufacturing PUP recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain trailers fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." these trailers were built with inadequately sized air brake reservoirs.
💥 The risk
This does not meet the standard.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install an additional air reservoir cylinder and associated hardware. Owner notification is expected to begin during september or october 2002. 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 east manufacturing at 1-330-325-9921.
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.)
