Summary: Universal trailer corporation (utc) is recalling one model year 2012 haulmark and one model year 2012 wells cargo trailer equipped with a dexter axle 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: Utc will notify owners, and dexter axle dealers will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps, free of charge. Owners may contact universal trailer corporation at 1-574-264-9661.
Notes: Customers may 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.

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