2018–2020 Tremcar 406 Semi-Trailer & 2018–2020 Tremcar 407 Semi-Trailer recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Tremcar is recalling certain 2018-2020 406 and 707 semi-trailers. The washers used for mounting the brake actuators may fracture, allowing the actuators to loosen, potentially reducing the braking ability.
💥 The risk
A reduction in the braking performance can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Tremcar will notify owners, and TSE Brakes will provide replacement brake actuator mounting washers and nuts, free of charge. The recall began March 30, 2020. Owners may contact Tremcar customer service at 1-800-363-2158.
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.)
