Trailstar Semi Trailers Recalled Due to Possible Loss of Brake Function
Tracker Marine LLC is recalling certain model year 2012 Trailstar Z8 trailers and model year 2011-2012 Trailstar Z9 trailers that were manufactured from July 12, 2010, through November 10, 2011 due to a possible service brake defect. The brake caliper pins were not tightened to the correct specification, allowing them to come loose. If the brake caliper pins back out, the result would be the loss of brake function and an increased risk of a crash. The brake caliper is the assembly which houses the brake pads and pistons. It is used to push the brake pads against the surface of the brake rotor to slow down the semi trailer.
