Triad Trailer recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Triad trailers (triad) is recalling one model year 2011 j105 boat trailer and one model year 2012 j111 boat trailer each equipped with a dexter electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump. 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
Triad will notify owners, and dexter will replace the actuators, free of charge. The safety recall began on may 30, 2012. Owners may contact triad trailers at 1-919-782-6007.
