2012 United UXGN-8.544TR60 & 2012 United UXT-8.524TA70 recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
United expressline is recalling two model year 2012 gooseneck trailers equipped with dexter electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps. Some of these pumps may not have been properly heat treated. This condition CAN cause premature wear of some critical components in these pumps 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
United expressline will notify owners, and dexter will replace the actuators, free of charge. The units have been repaired. Owners may contact united expressline, inc. At 1-574-848-7088.
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.)
