| Description |
Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company (Utility Trailer) is recalling certain model year 2015 Refrigerated Van trailers, model VS2RA, manufactured on December 16, 2013, and equipped with certain Meritor EX225L2, EX225L+, or Bendix ADB22X axles.

| Consequences |
If the caliper detaches from the axle flange, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. |

Utility Trailer has notified the owners, and dealers will inspect the caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 4, 2015. Owners may contact Utility Trailer customer service at 1-818-965-1541, or Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221. Utility Trailer's number for this recall is 15E083. |
