What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where brake failure 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

Delta Mfg., Inc. is recalling one model year 2011 210 GN flatbed trailer and one model year 2011 212 GN flatbed trailer. These vehicles are equipped with a Dexter Axle electric/hydraulic (E/H) brake actuator pump that 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.

Notices were mailed to owners on June 12, 2012. Dexter Axle dealers will replace the E/H brake actuator pump free of charge. Owners may contact Delta at 1-870-523-8941 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
