2012 EZ Loader Boat Trailer recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Ez loader is recalling certain model year 2012 ez loader Boat trailers equipped with a carlisle hydrastar brake actuator. One of the rotating components in the hydraulic pump 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.
💥 The risk
Loss of braking ability CAN lead to loss of control of the Trailer, increasing the risk of a crash, serious injuries, or property damage.

The safety recall began on march 19, 2012. Owners may contact ez loader at 1-509-489-0181.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
