What NHTSA recorded

The brake actuator on the tongue of the trailer can have a misaligned brake solenoid. If the solenoid is mis-aligned, then there is potential for interference between the solenoid and the actuator housing.

Possible consequence

Leakage of brake fluid and/or the presence of air in brake lines may cause the brakes to not operate as intended increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and test the brake system free of charge. The safety recall began on may 3, 2010. Owners may contact metal fabrication customer service at 931-962-0025.
