- Summary
- Custom built gooseneck trailers, Inc. (cbgt) is recalling 1 25 and 1 40 model year 2012 trailers, manufactured between January 14, 2011, and January 18, 2012, equipped with an 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
- Cbgt will notify owners and dealers will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps, free of charge. Owners may contact custom built gooseneck trailers, Inc. At 1-903-383-2896.

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