2017 Burch Cargo Tank recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Burch Tank and Truck (Burch) is recalling certain 2017 Cargo tank trailers, equipped with MPA/MTA suspensions and 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.
💥 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
Burch has notified owners, and fleets will be reimbursed by Meritor to inspect the bolts, and replace any loose or missing ones. The recall began on October 3, 2017. Owners may contact Burch customer service at 1-800-882-7640 or the Meritor call center at 1-866-668-7221.
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.)
