- Summary
- Mo trailers corporation (mo trailers) is recalling three model year 2011 39 vs and 41 vs trailers, equipped with electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps. Two additional affected actuators were sold as retail parts sales. 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.
- 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
- Mo trailer notified the owners of the affected actuators on March 26, 2012. Owners may contact mo trailer at 1-574-533-0824.
- Notes
- Owners may also 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.

Has your MO Trailers been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A MO Trailers dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
