SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
- The defect
- Timpte, Inc. (Timpte) is recalling certain 2022 Bulk Commodity Hopper trailers. The screws that secure the bracket cover and end cover of the iABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been improperly tightened, which can allow the screws to loosen and back out, resulting in a loss of pressure in the unit.
- What it can cause
- Pressure loss in the iABS unit can cause a loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the iABS ECU, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 15, 2021. Owners may contact Timpte customer service at 1-402-367-3056.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 67 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Timpte, Inc. with NHTSA on November 12, 2021 as campaign 21V883000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
