Bloomer recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Bloomer trailers manufacturing incorporated (bloomer) is recalling certain model year 2012 evolution gooseneck trailers equipped with dexter electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps. 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
Bloomer has notified all owners, and dexter has replaced the actuators, free of charge, therefore, an owner notification notice will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may contact bloomer trailers at 1-800-390-6377.
