2012 Interstate 30DLE recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Interstate trailers is recalling one model year 2012 30DLE trailer equipped with an 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.
💥 The risk
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
Interstate trailers has notified the owner, and a dealer replaced the actuator, free of charge.
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.)
