Defect
United expressline is recalling two model year 2012 gooseneck trailers equipped with dexter electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps. Some of these pumps may not have been properly heat treated. This condition can cause premature wear of some critical components in these pumps which can render the unit inoperable.
Safety risk
The e/h brake actuator provides braking power to the trailer brakes. Failure of the actuator can result in the loss of braking effort by the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
United expressline will notify owners, and dexter will replace the actuators, free of charge. The units have been repaired. Owners may contact united expressline, inc. At 1-574-848-7088.
Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administrations vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
