2002–2007 Great Lakes PUP & 2002–2007 Great Lakes Crib Drop + 6 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Great lakes is recalling certain model year 2002-2007 trailers, equipped with the msqr 5000 differential pressure regulator/quick release valve device manufactured by air brake systems. The msqr 5000 does not contain the requisite antilock brake system or warning light and thus fails to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 121, "air brake systems." see the above list for the models included in the recall.

💥 The risk

The purpose of the federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) for air brake systems, no. 121, is to insure safe braking performance under normal and emergency conditions. The msqr 5000, which was installed in the trailers subject to the recall to satisfy FMVSS no. 121'S ABS requirements, does not meet the definition of an ABS as required by FMVSS no. 121. Also, the trailers do not have a light to warn the operator of an ABS malfunction as required by FMVSS no. 121 these deficiencies increase the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Great lakes will notify owners and will replace the unit with a compliant one, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during january 2012. Owners may contact great lakes at 1-920-842-2012.

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.)
