Reported: 2011-01-19 (January 19, 2011) · Model years: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
PITTS ENTERPRISES IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 THROUGH 2008 FLATBED TRACTOR TRAILERS, MODELS LT, LP, LB-35, HD-35, TA, AND PT, MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 2004 THROUGH OCTOBER 2008, EQUIPPED WITH THE MSQR 5000 DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE REGULATOR/QUICK RELEASE VALVE DEVICE MANUFACTURED BY AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS. THE MSQR 5000 DOES NOT CONTAIN THE REQUISITE WARNING LIGHT WHICH FAILS TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS."
Consequence: THE PURPOSE OF THE FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) FOR AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS, NO. 121, IS TO INSURE SAFE BRAKING PERFORMANCE UNDER NORMAL AND EMERGENCY CONDITIONS. THE MSQR 5000, WHICH WAS INSTALLED IN THE TRAILERS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL TO SATISFY FMVSS NO. 121'S ABS REQUIREMENTS, DOES NOT MEET THE DEFINITION OF AN ABS AS REQUIRED BY FMVSS NO. 121. ALSO, THE TRAILERS DO NOT HAVE A LIGHT TO WARN THE OPERATOR OF AN ABS MALFUNCTION AS REQUIRED BY FMVSS NO. 121. PITTS HAS RECEIVED NO COMPLAINTS OR REPORTS OF ANY ONROAD FAILURES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NONCOMPLIANCE.
Remedy: PITTS ENTERPRISES WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MSQR 5000 SYSTEM WITH A COMPLIANT SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 5, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT THE SALES DEPARTMENT OF PITTS ENTERPRISES AT 1-334-855-4754.

Reported: 2016-04-25 (April 25, 2016) · Model years: 2014, 2015, 2016
Pitts Enterprises, Inc. (Pitts) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 LT, LP and PT logging trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to May 31, 2015. The affected trailers have a single point trunnion mount suspension which may develop cracks in the welds between the suspension and the frame.

Remedy: Pitts will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the suspension for cracks and repair the welds, free of charge. The recall began on May 6. 2016. Owners may contact Pitts customer service at 1-800-321-8073.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2015: 0 complaints · 2016: 0 complaints
