SERVICE BRAKES
NHTSA #13V129000Reported April 9, 2013 · Load Trail LLC
Defect description
Load Trail LLC (Load Trail) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Load Max HD Goosenecks trailers manufactured October 21, 2011, through May 9, 2012. These vehicles are equipped with Carlisle hydraulic brake actuators. One of the rotating components in the hydraulic pump missed a heat treat operation causing the actuator to wear at a higher than normal rate. As a result, the hydraulic pump could fail and result in a loss of braking ability in the trailer.
Safety consequence
Loss of braking ability can lead to loss of control of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash, serious injuries, or property damage.
Free manufacturer remedy
Load Trail will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hydraulic pumps free of charge. The recall began on April 18, 2013. Owners may contact Load Trail at 1-903-783-3900.
