10 product recalls were published during this week. Review the summaries below, then follow the official source before taking action.
Some of these trailers may be equipped with Carlisle's Hydrastar or Hydrastar XL brake actuators, which are subject to wear at a higher than normal rate. As the component wears, the load on the electric motor increases until either the fuse that protects the motor fails or the motor itself fails.
The weld between the main tube and the OCL joint may crack and dislocate on affected frames.
Airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.
The product does not comply with mandatory safety standard for bunk beds, AS/NZS 4220:1994. The standard requires that: • protrusions do not not exceed 8mm in length; • the vertical distance between the guard rail and label indicating the maximum height of the mattress must be at least 160mm; and • the country of origin and the Australian distributor’s name and address be permanently and indelibly marked.
