Coastmac BOXTOP & PLANT TRAILERS (2025–2026)
What the hazard is
An unintended braking and/or loss of vehicle control while driving, could increase the risk of trailer damage or a road accident causing injury or death.
What to do
Owners of affected trailers are requested to contact an authorised service branches (Canning Vale WA, Wangara WA, Bunbury WA, or West Gosford NSW) to schedule an appointment to have the rectification carried out, free of charge.
Defect
The brake cables may be incorrectly positioned such that suspension movement under heavy load conditions may place unintended tension on the cables. This may cause unintended brake engagement and generate extreme heat. This could cause the wheel hub and rim to fail leading to a loss of vehicle control while driving.
