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

Summary: United expressline is recalling two 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: United expressline will notify owners, and dexter will replace the actuators, free of charge. The units have been repaired. Owners may contact united expressline, Inc. At 1-574-848-7088.
Notes: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administrations vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your United 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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A United dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
