2011 Rosa Rosa Trailers recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Rosa trailer mfg. (Rosa trailer) is recalling certain model year 2011 Trailers manufactured from october 10, 2010 through january 31, 2011, equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters. Due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing CAN occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.
💥 The risk
If the slack adjuster housing were to break, the wheel brake to which the slack adjuster is attached would no longer function, causing the vehicle to have reduced braking capacity and, if mounted on the steer axle, the vehicle could pull to one side, possibly resulting in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Rosa trailer will notify owners, and dealers will replace the slack adjusters free of charge. The safety recall began in mid-february 2012. Owners may contact Rosa Trailers at 1-715-478-3435.
