- The problem
- On certain trailers equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control units (ecu). If the trailer-mounted abs warning lamp circuit experiences an electrical short and the short is not repaired, the high side power switch inside the ecu that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted abs warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
- The risk
- If the power switch shorts, it can result in an over-current condition in the ecu and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
- The fix
- Bendix will provide a remedy kit and detailed instructions and also provide a labor allowance for the repair. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 or trailmobile at 1-217-348-8181.

2000 Trailmobile Trailer recalls 2
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Vehicle description: trailers equipped with hubs provided by webb wheel products. These truck trailer disc wheel hubs have direct-machined anti-lock braking systems (abs), part number 2023a. The abs teeth are machined into the inner face of the hub bore, and the teeth are machined off center from the center of the hub. The speed sensor of the abs system reads the tooth pattern and sends erroneous signals to the abs control unit.
- The risk
- This condition can cause the abs system to cycle rapidly and extend stopping distances during an abs controlled brake application possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the hubs. Owner notification began february 21, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact trailmobile at 1-217-348-8181 or webb wheel at 1-800-633-3256.
