Equipter Service Brakes, Hydraulic recall
Recalled May 13, 2013 · NHTSA recall 13V191000 · Equipter
Description
New Heights LLC (New Heights) is recalling certain Equipter RB4000 dump trailers manufactured December 8, 2011, through December 21, 2011. These vehicles are equipped with Carlisle hydraulic brake actuators. One of the rotating components in the hydraulic pump for the brakes missed a heat treat operation causing the actuator to wear at a higher than normal rate. As a result, the hydraulic pump could fail and result in a loss of braking ability in the trailer.
What to do
New Heights will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hydraulic pump actuators free of charge. Owners may contact New Heights at 1-717-768-0070.
