Some of these pumps may not have been properly heat treated.

Summary
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.
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
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.
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.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Gooseneck 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 Gooseneck dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
