Component

Service Brakes, Air:Slack Adjusters:Automatic

Consequence of Defect

on certain trailers equipped with a specific combination of reyco suspension, eaton drive axle, and bendix slack adjusters, the failure of a drive axle slack adjuster to automatically adjust as required to compensate for brake wear, will cause an out of adjustment condition. if this condition occurs and is not identified and corrected through normal inspections and maintenance, the slack adjuster will over-rotate and may contact the suspension lower spring saddle.

Corrective Action

if this occurs, braking performance will be inhibited, increasing the risk of a crash without warning.
