Parker Trailer Recalls 2012 Models Due to Brake Actuator Defect

Parker Trailer is recalling certain 2012 models because improperly heat-treated brake actuator pumps may fail, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake actuator failure) that can result in the loss of braking effort and increase the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Parker Trailer Sales, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2012 trailers equipped with Dexter electric/hydraulic (E/H) brake actuator pumps. The affected models include the GNTD10240, GNTD9633, HP7720, GNTD9630, GNTD9632, and GNTD9635.

Some of these pumps may not have been properly heat treated. This condition can cause premature wear of critical components, rendering the unit inoperable. Since the actuator provides braking power to the trailer brakes, failure can result in the loss of braking effort, increasing the risk of a crash.

Parker Trailer will notify owners, and Dexter will replace the actuators free of charge. The recall began on June 13, 2012. Owners may contact Parker Trailer at 1-903-572-0029 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
