DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT


Posted on: 2012-06-01
Description
Elite trailers, inc.  (elite) is recalling two model year 2012 elite flatbed trailers 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.  

Consequence
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.

Corrective Action
Elite will notify the owners, and dexter axle dealers will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump, free of charge.  Owners may contact elite trailers, inc.  At 1-918-962-4567.

Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
