Summary: Belmont machine company (belmont) is recalling one model year 2011 belmont GN16LD 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: Belmont has notified the owner, and a dexter axle dealer will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump, free of charge. Owners may contact belmont machine company at 1-717-556-0040.

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