2015 Polar Tank APX0 Trailer & 2015 Polar Tank ATB6 Trailer + 1 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Polar Tank Trailer, LLC (Polar) is recalling certain model year 2015 SRJH, APX0, and ATB6 trailers manufactured August 27, 2014, to November 29, 2014, equipped with certain Haldex Life Seal Type 30/30 Long Stroke Air Brake Actuators manufactured January 9, 2014, to October 28, 2014. The affected actuators may have an incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism of the parking brake section of the Life Seal actuator.

💥 The risk

If the diaphragm is not completely attached, there may be internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm, potentially trapping air pressure in the parking brake section. This air pressure in turn, if not vented, may prevent full release of the actuator unit, and may induce brake drag and may result in overheated wheelend service brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.

🔧 The fix

Polar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the actuators, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 2, 2015. Owners may contact Polar customer service at 1-320-746-2255. Polar's number for this recall is 14E075.

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.)
