The problem
Falcon is recalling one model year 2012 gooseneck trailer equipped with a dexter axle brand electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump. This pump may not have been properly heat treated. This condition can cause premature wear of some critical components in the pump which can render the unit inoperable.
The 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.
The fix
Falcon will notify the owner and dexter axle will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump, free of charge. The vehicle was repaired during april 2012. Owners may contact falcon trailer works, inc. At 1-903-877-2077 or dexter axle at 1-260-636-5311.
