Hyundai Translead is recalling certain 2020-2021 dry van and reefer trailers to fix a retaining clip in the brake pad retaining assembly that may be loose or could detach, loosening the brake pad. The company believes 39 units are affected.
A retaining clip or bracket that detaches can damage the brake pad, reducing brake performance, damage a tire valve, causing a flat tire, or become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will repair the spring bracket assembly free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on Dec. 8, 2022.
