Fontaine Trailer Company (Fontaine) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Revolution trailers manufactured February 17, 2014, to April 11, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves. These brake valves were improperly machined without a radius on the internal check valve seat, causing a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking. If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
