2003 Strick 0400CD recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain converter dollies, the check valve between the air reservoir and the booster valve was installed in the reverse position with the arrow on the valve pointing towards the air reservoir.
💥 The risk
This CAN result in low air pressure to the booster valve. This also creates a braking timing issue to the trailer unit(s).
🔧 The fix
The check valve will be re-plumbed, arrow pointing towards the booster valve, to provide correct air flow. Owner notification began on april 26, 2004. Owners should contact strick at 1-215-949-3600.
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.)
