The short version
Fontaine Trailer Company reported a problem with the parking brake. Here is what owners need to know.
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.
Fontaine will contact owners and Bendix will provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge.
