Recall 25V724 affects 18 2022-2025 Wartech Specialcontainer trailers for an air leak in the brake fitting. Do not drive while towing it. Repair is free through Wartech.
An air leak can activate the trailer brakes without command or reduce brake pressure, which lengthens stopping distance and increases crash risk. Do not drive or tow the trailer until the repair is complete. If the trailer has an air leak, unusual brake behavior, or applied brakes, stop using it and call Wartech. Repair is free at any franchised Wartech dealer.
Wartech is recalling 18 2022-2025 Specialcontainer trailers under recall 25V724 because an incorrect threaded fitting between the ABS module and air tank can leak air and reduce pneumatic brake pressure. An air leak can trigger the brakes or lengthen stopping distance. Do not drive these trailers until a Wartech dealer completes the free repair.

What's wrong?
The ABS module pipe nipple on 2022-2025 Wartech Specialcontainer trailers is a short threaded fitting between the anti-lock braking system module and the nearby air tank. The ABS module helps control wheel lockup during braking, and the air tank supplies the pressurized air that applies the trailer brakes.
Wartech says the fitting was specified as a Schedule 40 steel pipe nipple even though the ABS module manufacturer called for a Schedule 80 hex nipple. That matters because this fitting sits in the brake air supply path. If the pipe nipple fails or leaks, air pressure drops, which reduces control of the trailer braking system or causes the trailer brakes to apply when the driver did not intend it.
An owner or operator can notice air leaking from the trailer brake system. The leak can be audible or silent. Other warning signs include reduced control of the trailer brakes or trailer brakes applying without a brake command.
Who's affected?
Spans four model years, all tied to the same ABS module pipe nipple between the ABS module and air tank.

What's the safety risk?
An air leak can activate the trailer brakes without command or reduce brake pressure, which lengthens stopping distance and increases crash risk. Do not drive or tow the trailer until the repair is complete. If the trailer has an air leak, unusual brake behavior, or applied brakes, stop using it and call Wartech. Repair is free at any franchised Wartech dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2025 Wartech Specialcontainer is included in this recall.
- Do not drive a tow vehicle with this trailer attached until the free fitting repair is complete.
- Arrange flatbed transport if the trailer has to be moved for repair; do not tow it there yourself.
- Contact Wartech customer service to schedule the free threaded-fitting replacement that fixes the ABS-to-air-tank air leak and restores brake pressure.
- Bring the recall notice if Wartech has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V724 when you call.
What happens at the repair
At the service appointment, a Wartech technician replaces the incorrect threaded fitting between the ABS module and the air tank with the correct pipe nipple. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Do not tow the trailer until the repair is complete. A leaking fitting reduces pneumatic brake pressure, so the repair needs to be finished before the trailer returns to towing service. Wartech states that reimbursement is not offered for this campaign.
