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 pump) 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

Tiger Trailers, Inc. is recalling one model year 2012 83X24 Lowboy Gooseneck trailer equipped with a Dexter Axle electric/hydraulic (E/H) brake actuator pump. The recall addresses a defect where the pump may not have been properly heat treated.

This condition can cause premature wear of critical components in the pump, rendering the unit inoperable. Because 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.

Tiger Trailers will notify the owner, and a Dexter Axle dealer will replace the electric/hydraulic (E/H) brake actuator pump free of charge. Owners may contact Tiger Trailers, Inc. at 1-903-577-9511. Customers may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit safercar.gov.
