Pitbull Recall 17V648000: Service Brakes, Air

NHTSA recall 17V648000 · announced October 13, 2017 · filed by Lcb Manufacturing · 4 units affected

The problem

LBC Manufacturing (LCB) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Pitbull roll-off trailers, model numbers PB47 and PB40, manufactured with MPA/MTA suspensions equipped with Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting flange.

The risk

If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting flange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

LCB has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the bolts, replacing any loose or missing ones, free of charge. The recall began October 17, 2017. Owners may contact LCB customer service at 1-734-442-6202. LCB's number for this recall is 001PB.
