The problem
Ameritrail, Inc.(Ameritrail) is recalling certain model year 2011 Ranch King GN24-21E, GN36-25D42, GN40-21D42, and MFDD36-242 trailers equipped with certain Carlisle Hydrastar and Hydrastar XL trailer brake actuators. One of the rotating components in the hydraulic pump for the brake actuator missed a heat treating 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.
The risk
Loss of braking ability can lead to loss of control of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash, serious injuries, or property damage.
The fix
Ameritrail will notify owners, and dealers will replace the actuator, free of charge. The recall began on July 29, 2014. Owners may contact Ameritrail customer service at 1-407-892-1100.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
