Defect Description
Contract Manufacturer, LLC (CM Trailers) is recalling certain model year 2012 Cargo Van and Revolution trailers equipped with certain Hydrastar and Hydrastar XL trailer brake actuators produced from October 5, 2011, through December 9, 2011. One of the rotating components in the hydraulic pump missed a heat treat 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.
Safety Consequence
Loss of braking ability can lead to loss of control of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash, serious injuries, or property damage.
Remedy
CM Trailers will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hydraulic pumps, free of charge. The recall began on March 21, 2014. Owners may contact CM Trailers at 1-888-268-7577.
