The problem
Belmont machine company (belmont) is recalling one model year 2011 belmont gn16ld 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
Belmont has notified the owner, and a dexter axle dealer will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump, free of charge. Owners may contact belmont machine company at 1-717-556-0040.
