The problem
Royal cargo trailers (royal cargo) is recalling one model year 2012 amttgn 8.5x38tr70 trailer equipped with a dexter axle 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
Royal cargo will notify the owner, and a dexter axle dealer will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump, free of charge. The affected vehicle has been repaired. Owners may contact royal cargo trailers, inc. At 1-877-283-7260.
