The problem

Maxey trailer is recalling certain model year 2011 gooseneck tandem dual flatbed trailers manufactured from september 2011 through december 2011, equipped with dexter axle electric/hydraulic (E/h) brake actuator pumps. Some of these pumps may not have been properly heat treated. This condition can cause premature wear of some critical components in these pumps 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

Maxey trailers mailed notices of the recall to owners on april 2, 2012. Dexter axle dealers will replace the e/h brake actuator pumps free of charge. Owners may contact maxey trailers at 1-903-784-8059.
