Burch Tank and Truck
The problem
Burch Tank and Truck (Burch) is recalling certain 1984 Evans Cargo Tank trailers, equipped with MPA/MTA suspensions and Meritor EX225 brakes. The brake caliper bolts on these axles may not be properly torqued which can allow the caliper to detach from the mounting flange.
Risk
If the caliper bolts are improperly torqued and the caliper detaches from the mounting flange, a loss of braking ability would occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
What owners should do
Burch has notified owners, and fleets will be reimbursed by Meritor to inspect the bolts, and replace any loose or missing ones. The recall began on October 3, 2017. Owners may contact Burch customer service at 1-800-882-7640 or the Meritor call center at 1-866-668-7221.
