2018 Wabash National VAN recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Wabash National Corporation (Wabash) is recalling certain 2018 Van trailers manufactured with MPA/MTA suspensions equipped with Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting flange. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

💥 The risk

If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting flange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Wabash will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the bolts, replacing any loose or missing ones, free of charge. The recall began on November 14, 2017. Owners may contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5300.

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.)
