2011 Circle W CWT68288K & 2011 Circle W CWT68327K + 2 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Circle w is recalling certain model year 2011 gooseneck livestock trailers equipped with a dexter axle brand 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.

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.)
