What NHTSA recorded

Tiger trailers is recalling one model year 2012 lowboy gooseneck trailer equipped with a dexter axle electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump. This pump may not have been properly heat treated. This condition can cause premature wear of some critical components in this pump which can render the unit inoperable.

Possible consequence

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.

Tiger trailers will notify the owner, and a dexter axle dealer will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump, free of charge. Owners may contact tiger trailers, inc. At 1-903-577-9511.
