- Summary
- Wilson trailer company (wilson trailer) is recalling certain model year 2012 gooseneck trailers equipped with dexter 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
- Wilson trailer will notify owners, and dexter axle will replace the actuators, free of charge. The safety recall began on may 16, 2012. Owners may contact wilson trailer at 1-712-252-6477.

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