2004–2005 Trailmobile Trailer & 2004–2005 Trailmobile VAN recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain VAN trailers equipped with a specific brake chamber, the chamber has a pushrod length that is shorter than recommended.
💥 The risk
This could result in reduced braking force under certain conditions, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install an extension coupling on the brake chamber pushrod to lengthen it to the recommended dimension. Owner notification began on june 22, 2004. Owners should contact trailmobile at 1-800-823-3181, ext. 223.
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.)
