💥 Crash riskNHTSA 03V167📅 Jun 9, 2003

2000–2003 Crane COE & 2000–2003 Crane LCF + 7 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain trailers equipped with a specific combination of reyco suspension, eaton drive axle, and bendix slack adjusters, the failure of a drive axle slack adjuster to automatically adjust as required to compensate for brake wear, will cause an out of adjustment condition. If this condition occurs and is not identified and corrected through normal inspections and maintenance, the slack adjuster will over-rotate and may contact the suspension lower spring saddle.

💥 The risk

If this occurs, braking performance will be inhibited, increasing the risk of a crash without warning.

🔧 The fix

Crane carrier will supply, at no charge, gunite slack adjusters and installation instructions to replace the existing bendix slack adjusters on the drive axle. The installing facility will be reimbursed by crane for one (1) hour labor per vehicle at their posted labor rate. Owner notification began on june 10, 2003. Owners should contact crane at 1-918-832-7305.

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.)
