Transport Canada Recall - 2019528 - LODE KING

Issue:
On certain tridem axle trailers, the parking brake may be slower to apply than what is allowed by Canadian regulations. Additionally, the service brakes on some trailers with a 72” axle spread may release more slowly than what is allowed by the regulations.

Safety Risk:
Delayed parking brake application could result in unintended vehicle movement. Delayed release of the service brakes could affect brake performance and vehicle stability. Either could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Lode King will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their trailer to a dealer for an inspection of the air brake system. If the trailer is not fitted with a quick release valve for the parking brake, one will be added near the rear of the trailer. Additionally, trailers with a 72" axle spread will have a quick release gladhand valve added to the service brake line at the front of the trailer.
