The defect
Tremcar is recalling certain 2018-2020 406 and 707 semi-trailers. The washers used for mounting the brake actuators may fracture, allowing the actuators to loosen, potentially reducing the braking ability.
The risk
A reduction in the braking performance can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
