Vehicle recall 12V162000 · April 10, 2012

2012 Falcon Gooseneck

This pump may not have been properly heat treated.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary
Falcon is recalling one model year 2012 gooseneck trailer 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 the 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
Falcon will notify the owner and dexter axle will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump, free of charge. The vehicle was repaired during April 2012. Owners may contact falcon trailer works, Inc. At 1-903-877-2077 or dexter axle at 1-260-636-5311.
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 Falcon 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 Falcon dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
