Mo Trailers recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Mo trailers corporation (mo trailers) is recalling three model year 2011 39 vs and 41 vs trailers, equipped with electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps. Two additional affected actuators were sold as retail parts sales. Some of these pumps may not have been properly heat treated. This condition can cause premature wear of some critical components in these pumps which can render the unit inoperable.
What could happen
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.
The fix
Mo trailer notified the owners of the affected actuators on march 26, 2012. Owners may contact mo trailer at 1-574-533-0824.
