2025–2026 Fontaine Forklift Trailer HCIFL12SAT & 2025–2026 Fontaine Forklift Trailer HCIFL82CTA recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Fontaine Trailer Company (Fontaine Trailer) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Fontaine HCIFL12SAT and HCIFL82CTA forklift trailers. The auto lift axle cables may not be installed in the correct ports, which can disable the anti-lock brake system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
💥 The risk
Driving without a functioning anti-lock brake system may result in the trailer not braking as intended, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Fontaine Trailer will rewire the cable connections, free of charge. Owners may contact Fontaine Trailer customer service at 1-800-821-6535, option 5.
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.)
