The problem
4-Star Trailers, Inc. (4-Star) is recalling certain 2012-2016 Gooseneck Horse trailers. The hydraulic brake line may rupture where it connects to the brake caliper, resulting in a brake fluid leak and a loss of braking.
The risk
If the hydraulic brake line ruptures there may be a loss of brake power, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
4-Star will notify owners, and dealers will change the brake line compression fitting to a banjo fitting, free of charge. The recall began on March 14, 2017. Owners may contact 4-Star customer service at 1-800-848-3095.
