The problem
Circle w is recalling certain model year 2011 gooseneck livestock trailers 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 this 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
Circle w will notify owners and dexter axle dealers will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps, free of charge. The safety recall began on june 12, 2012. Owners may contact circle w at 1-334-374-2560.
