2012 CM Trailers Cargo VAN & 2012 CM Trailers Revolution recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Contract Manufacturer, LLC (CM Trailers) is recalling certain model year 2012 Cargo Van and Revolution trailers equipped with certain Hydrastar and Hydrastar XL trailer brake actuators produced from October 5, 2011, through December 9, 2011. 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 fix

CM Trailers will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hydraulic pumps, free of charge. The recall began on March 21, 2014. Owners may contact CM Trailers at 1-888-268-7577.

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.)
