- Summary
- On certain semi-trailers, during manufacture, some of the pipe fittings were drilled too deep, resulting in a thin wall in the male pipe thread. The male pipe thread may break off during or after assembly.
- Consequence
- If the fitting fails while in use, the air brake system could depressurize, causing the brakes to engage suddenly, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Cheetah chassis is working with brasscraft to replace the defective fitting free of charge (please see 06E082). The recall is expected to begin during may 2007. Owners may contact brasscraft at 248-305-6000 or cheetah chassis at 570-752-2709.

Has your Cheetah been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Cheetah dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
