Chronology :

On Sept. 13, 2022 an OEM trailer manufacturer; a purchaser of axles from a Haldex axle customer, reported an on-road incident that appeared to involve the subject component. The incident appeared to involve the retaining clip installation described above.

On Sept. 15, 2022 a second incident was reported that appeared unrelated based on the initial information received. The axle manufacturer also provided photographs of apparent clip misalignment on un-installed units and reported that eight brake assemblies from incoming inventory appeared misaligned. Haldex immediately began investigating the issue and implemented containment actions in their manufacturing plant, including suspending brake shipments on Sept. 15, 2022.

On Sept. 19, 2022 Haldex began sending inspection teams to the trailer manufacturer locations and several trailer manufacturer customer locations to inspect assemblies. Haldex has inspected approximately 3800 units to date and confirmed 8 with misaligned brake spring retaining clips. Haldex also sent inspection teams to the axle manufacturing facility to inspect and contain any improperly assembled products. Haldex confirmed that even with a loose brake pad, overall braking function on the trailer was still effective.

On Sept. 21, 2022 Haldex confirmed that the second incident reported by the trailer manufacturer did in fact involve an improperly assembled brake retaining clip. This was confirmed by onsite inspection of the subject trailer showing that the brake retaining clip and retainer bar were missing. Haldex’s investigation indicated that even though overall trailer braking function was minimally impacted, a loose retainer bar or retaining clip could hit other vehicle components, and may result in the retaining clip or retainer bar hitting the roadway and creating a road hazard.

On Sept. 21, 2022,Haldex determined that an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety resulting from the improperly assembled clip could not be ruled out.
