Issue

On certain trailers, the washers used for mounting the brake actuators may break. This can allow the actuators to loosen and could cause reduced braking.

Safety risk

Reduced brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective actions

Tremcar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact TSE Brakes to order a replacement brake actuator mounting washer and nut kit.
