Recall 16V580 affects 8,967 2014-2016 Hyundai Translead trailers for delayed parking-brake application. Repair will be free at any franchised Hyundai Translead dealer once available.
Hyundai Translead is recalling 8,967 2014-2016 Van Trailer, Chassis, Container, and Van Reefer trailers because certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves have a machining problem that delays spring brake application while parking. A delayed parking brake application can let the trailer roll away after decoupling from the tractor, increasing crash or injury risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The 2014-2016 Hyundai Translead Van Trailer, Chassis, Container, and Van Reefer trailers use a Bendix SR-5 spring brake valve in the air parking brake system. The valve controls air flow to the trailer spring brakes. When parking, the system releases air pressure so the spring brakes apply and hold the trailer in place.
On affected trailers, the valve body was machined without the required radius on an internal check valve seat. That missing shape came from a supplier drawing change and affects how air moves through the valve. The result is a delay in applying the spring brakes while parking, which means the trailer is not held as quickly as intended.
The slow-to-park condition can happen without warning. Before the tractor is decoupled, an affected trailer can have an audible air leak from the dash-mounted park control valve or from the red glad hand when it is disconnected. That leak continues until the trailer reservoirs and spring brake chambers lose air pressure.
Who's affected?
The scope spans Van Trailer, Chassis, Container, and Van Reefer products across the 2014, 2015, and 2016 model years, all tied to the parking brake.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
A delayed spring brake application leaves a decoupled trailer without immediate parking brake force, increasing the risk of rollaway, crash, or injury. An affected trailer has an audible air leak at the dash-mounted park control valve or red glad hand before tractor decoupling. Treat that leak as a reason to stop before decoupling and call service. Repair will be free at any franchised Hyundai Translead dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2016 Hyundai Translead Van Trailer, Chassis, Container, or Van Reefer is included in this recall.
- Wait for Hyundai Translead's final repair instructions before scheduling the recall repair; the repair is free once it opens.
- Call Hyundai Translead customer service at 1-819-574-1500 with questions and reference recall number 16V580 when you call.
- Chock the trailer wheels after parking and before decoupling because the Bendix SR5 spring brake valve defect delays parking brake application.
- Avoid parking or decoupling on grades until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
The final repair is still under development, so do not assume the dealer can complete it now. Once Hyundai Translead releases the repair, a Hyundai Translead technician will perform the approved work for the Bendix SR5 spring brake valve, free under the recall. Parts and labor are covered once the remedy opens. Hyundai Translead has a general reimbursement plan on file. Keep documentation for related out-of-pocket spring brake valve repairs and ask Hyundai Translead customer service or the service desk how to submit it.
