Issue
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.
