For the 2012 ATC QST. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your ATC been repaired?

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A ATC dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Equipment

Summary: Aluminum trailer company (atc) is recalling certain model year 2012 rsx gooseneck and quest (qst) car haulers equipped with a dexter axle brand 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.
Remedy: Atc will notify owners and dexter axle dealers will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps, free of charge. Atc has not provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact atc at 1-877-441-2440.
